British Library Develops iPad App

Tweet

There are plenty of iPad apps that will give users plenty of views of beautiful pictures that are located all over the world. There are view apps that give the same kind of wonderful pictures that the British Library’s new HD iPad app brings.

British Library Treasures HD gives the iOS users just a look into the nearly 14 million different pages of text and images that the historical archive holds. The British Library touts itself as one of the world’s foremost libraries for books and recordings saying that it has over “14 million books, 920,000 journal and newspaper titles, 58 million patents, 3 million sound recordings, and so much more…”

This isn’t the kind of app that is going to be for someone who wants a ton of different bells and whistles when they are paging through a book, but for people who simply want another look at a fantastic collection this is an app that is worth having especially since the price was dropped almost immediately after it was released from $7.99 to $3.99.
