The University of Pittsburgh has launched the Parallax Project, which offers free online access to 60 years' worth of astronomical observation data from the Allegheny Observatory. The data are hard to find in their paper format, and now searchable in ways that were impossible on paper. See Brock Read's story on the project in today's Chronicle of Higher Education.

on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
