The FBI is digitizing its paper records for more efficient searching and sharing. When it gets up to speed, it will digitize 750,000 paper records per day. (PS: Imagine if our government gave this priority to the efficient searching and sharing of scientific journal articles, or even to the subset funded by the government.) (Thanks to VASND.)

free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
