I don't think we want an article on every single arrowhead, pottery
fragment or piece of flint.
Those are now held by the British museum. 150 million is books and
book like items (pamphlets and maps for example)
The back rooms of museums in general are one of the world's great
underutilized resources. Recently the Royal Ontario Museum managed to
find a skeleton of a T-Rex that it forgot it had. Ideally we should
have holographic images of every museum artifact in the world.
