An invite I got from the Filipinas Heritage Library:
Greetings from the Filipinas Heritage Library!
Since
1996, FHL has aimed to be the one-stop electronic research center for
Filipiniana and it is only now that we have almost realized this goal
through our newest library offering: Filipiniana Online.
Filipiniana Online is an e-library of
over 2,000 rare Filipiniana materials which FHL has created in
partnership with Trade Channel Philippines. This online facility was
produced by initially scanning the materials into PDF files (using a
non-invasive book scanner) and later converting it into “flipbooks”
(powered by Digizines). The platform allows the user to still have the
experience of “flipping” the pages of the e-book when reading, albeit
virtually on a tablet or a laptop.
It is in this connection that we are writing you. May we invite you and other teachers/ lovers/researchers of Filipiniana to join us on January 22, 2014 at 3:00 pm in the 2nd floor function room of the Ayala Museum for the launch of the Filipiniana Online?
Through Filipiniana Online, we believe that having access to primary
sources on culture, heritage, and history of the Philippines, will make
the Filipino youth appreciate their Pinoy roots. Indeed, we think that
Filipiniana Online is a hip and cool way for them to learn more about
himself or herself as a Filipino.
Please feel free to disseminate this e-invite to kindred souls wishing to have access to Filipiniana anywhere, anytime. Truly, Filipiniana Online is the best way for today’s generation to have
History at Your Fingertips!
Should you have questions or need clarifications, please feel free to contact us. Our landlines are:
