The Big Foto

Let’s promote this week the contribution of El Bibliomata, a flickr user that shares illustrations and photographs of the collection from the Library of the Faculty of Law and Labor, University of Seville.

While we create real digital content a good start is to digitalised old works. The start, some old litographies of the conquest of Mexico.
