	abstract = {In this essay, Shawn Martin urges scholars to look back as they look forward: "it is easy to forget that this is not the first time such efforts to {\textquoteright}organize the world{\textquoteright}s information and make it universally accessible and useful{\textquoteright} have been attempted." Harkening back to the debates around microfilms, Martin uses this technological innovation to ground the discussion around our current technology development. Martin traces the evolution of EEBO as a case study. Martin{\textquoteright}s essay demonstrates how tremendously a project can evolve. One of the greatest shifts has certainly been the movement from preservation to access.  To conclude, Martin notes that many of the problems we encounter with digitization are heightened version of the same issues combatted by the development of microfilms. },
