Why do we digitise?TL;DR: access to our shared heritages
matters
Digitisation supports education, engagement, research at huge scale
and with computational power.

It's easier to see patterns'Distant reading has utterly transformed my view of literary history. ...as we slice libraries in new ways we keep stumbling over long, century-spanning trends that have little relationship to the stories of movements and periods we used to tell. We can see genres differentiating from each other gradually. We can see assumptions about gender gradually shifting. We've learned that the literary standards defining a prestigious style change very slowly. It doesn't happen in a generation; it takes centuries. ...it is clear now that these methods can turn up important patterns that we couldn't see before, and that's what I'm loving about this.'
