Robert Heinlein - Complete Digital Archive

Slashdot article:

RaymondRuptime writes "Good news for fans of the late SF master Robert Heinlein, 2 months after his 100th birthday celebration. Per the San Jose Mercury News, 'The entire contents of the Robert A. and Virginia Heinlein Archive — housed in the UC-Santa Cruz Library's Special Collections since 1968 — have been scanned in an effort to preserve the contents digitally while making the collection easily available to both academics and the general public... The first collection released includes 106,000 pages, consisting of Heinlein's complete manuscripts — including files of all his published works, notes, research, early drafts and edits of manuscripts.' You can skip the brief article and go straight to the archives."

How cool is that. There are still a few Heinlein books out there that I don't think I've read and now it's possible to get a look at his manuscripts and notes, too. It would be a lot cooler if they were freely available, but I guess they need to recoup the cost of scanning and archiving everything.
