copyrighthistory.org: “This website provides a digital resource relating to the history of copyright in five jurisdictions (France, Germany, Italy, the UK and US) for the period up to 1900. It will include the 50 most important documents from France, Germany and the UK, and the 20 most important from Venice and the United States. The documents are in the process of being selected by national editors, under the guidance of an international advisory body. They will then be digitised, and where appropriate transcribed and translated. The national editors will also provide commentaries on the documents, explaining their significance and why they were selected.” [Fred von Lohmann, EFF]
