Tomorrow, the Library of Congress kicks off a celebration to mark the launch of the "Library of Congress Experience," an interactive exhibit with an online component that lets Internet users interact with primary sources from American history. On interactive display via touchscreen kiosks are books from Thomas Jefferson's library, which have been captured in high resolution and will be available for page-by-page browsing, annotated maps from the Age of Discovery, and objects from the Americas before Columbus.
