Collection of French Globes to Be Digitized by Tokyo Company

A Tokyo company is going to digitize a collection of historic globes from France and put them online.

“Dai Nippon Printing Co. will digitally copy 55 of the historic terrestrial and celestial globes in the National Library of France’s collection so that people can view them on screen. The globes were handcrafted in Europe and the Middle East from the 11th to the 19th centuries, are extremely valuable, and include a 15th-century copy of the world’s oldest terrestrial globe.”
