Long Keeping
The world's great minds, from their own perspective.
We are gathering the primary works of people who gave the most to human knowledge: their own books, papers and letters, not summaries of them. Every original is kept exactly as it was found, with a record of where it came from and on what terms.
- Originals, not retellingsThe first editions and manuscripts themselves, as published.
- Kept byte for byteEach file is checked against the fingerprint taken when it was collected.
- Every source recordedWhere each work came from, when, and under which terms.

The library opens to readers later. Until then the collection is kept privately, in more than one place.
