ibiblio.org 14th birthday

WHEN we are asked to specify the debt which civilization owes to the Greeks, their achievements in literature and art naturally occur to us first of all. But a truer answer may be that our deepest gratitude is due to them as the originators of liberty of thought and discussion. For this freedom of spirit was not only the condition of their speculations in philosophy, their progress in science, their experiments in political institutions; it was also a condition of their literary and artistic excellence.

John Bagnell Bury, 1861-1927
A History of Freedom of Thought from The Gutenberg Project.

Happy birthday to us! We don't get many opportunities to pat ourselves on the back, so we like to take a little trip down memory lane once a year to jog our own memories and remind everybody of what the internet was like back in 1992. Our celebration has been extra special because our friends at Folkstreams.net have been awarded a new grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services.
