The document discusses Yale University Library's contributions to the World Digital Library (WDL) project launched by UNESCO and the Library of Congress. Yale contributed materials from its collections to the pilot phase of the WDL including drawings of Amistad prisoners, a map by William Clark, an Arabic calligraphy primer, and a manuscript from Ferdinand Magellan's voyage. The WDL aims to provide free public access to cultural heritage materials from around the world. Yale representatives see the WDL as supporting Yale's role as a global university and expanding access to its collections. Initial data shows Yale's contributions are being widely viewed internationally.

Yale Contributes to the World
Digital Library
Yale University Library joined with UNESCO (United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), the Library
of Congress, and approximately 40 international institutions in
Paris in April 2009 to launch the World Digital Library (WDL),
a web site that features unique cultural materials from libraries
and archives around the world. The site, http://www.wdl.org,
aims to provide free, unrestricted public access to manuscripts,
maps, rare books, films, sound recordings, prints, photographs
and other cultural heritage materials in digital format. The part-
nership will grow rapidly in content and with new library partners.
Yale has contributed a number of important works in the
pilot phase, including 22 pencil drawings of the Amistad slave
ship prisoners, ca. 1839–40; William Clark’s 1810 map of North
America; an Arabic calligraphy primer, ca. 1852–53; and one of
three manuscript copies of Ferdinand Magellan’s journal from
his voyage around the world in 1522. As the project expands,
more content will be added from digital collections across the
University, reflecting the international strength of Yale’s holdings.
The launch took place at UNESCO’s headquarters, co-hosted
by UNESCO Director-General Koïchiro Matsuura and Librarian
