The Calgary Herald and CanWest News Service are publishing a five-part series, Future Past, on how scholars are using the internet to study history. From Randy Boswell's review in yesterday's Calgary Herald: "Underlying the project is a new sensibility about how the Internet -- with its global reach, open access, powerful search engines and exhaustive data sets -- is reshaping scholarly research."

Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
