This is part of a long term interest in the concept of universal libraries. After reading extensively on subjects like the short story, Library of Babel, the World Brain, and the Memex, I came up with the idea that a variation of the Library of Babel could be used as a shell for a nearly infinite collection of content. As a demonstration, I took public domain science titles and put them in this structure.
This is part of what should become a much larger more extensive project.
