US & Cuba Project Saves Rare Hemingway Papers Digitally

I saw this yesterday and wanted to pass it along:

“An important collection of papers belonging to the American writer Ernest Hemingway has been saved for posterity, thanks to a unique joint rescue mission involving communist Cuba and the United States….

Phase one is now complete – 3,197 pages of documents have been restored and then scanned on to digital archives.”
