A plan to spend £100m ($140m) on producing a kind of digitised storehouse of cultural treasures from across the UK has apparently been shelved. Of course I like the idea of such a dramatic public interest project, but I am stunned that even a hugely ambitious site could possibly cost that much and I hope that the idea will return when the process of digitisation is less expensive and when there are enough people online in the UK to make it worthwhile.
