Happy to let you know that there's a new IA collection from an Italian library (Opal Libri Antichi), and that uploads have been done by a wikisourcian, with any possible care about metadata, so that Tpt IA-Commons uploader can be easily used.
Most items have been uploaded as high-resolution TIFF zips, so that a better resolution djvu can be rather simply obtained when needed. Items are so far mainly ancient Italian books, but there are too many French and Latin books.
In days/hours the goal of first 1000 uploads will be met.
Here the link for colection's list: https://archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3Aopallibriantichi&sort=...

Hi Alex,
It sounds great. Have you some presentation to persuade local libraries to upload their works in IA-wikisource? I would like to spread it in Catalan libraries soon.

No Carles, by now there's nothing similar: this experience comes only from a free, informal initiative by personal, friendly relationships.
