The worldwide project teams culture and memory institutions with Wikipedia editors to maximize far-reaching access to their knowledge. NLI has over 5 million items encompassing books, archives, periodicals, personal archives, music, maps, photographs and audio recordings, many of which are already digitized and available to view online.  By featuring some of these items on Wikipedia, we are able to present our source materials on one of the world's most trafficked search sites. NLI then becomes much more than a repository of items -- we become a primary information channel for the global public.  The project fosters communication with the broad user community, providing for enhanced categorization of materials through participation in crowdsourcing activities.
