Already being done by the British Library (Score 1)

The British Library have a pilot project online already: http://www.uk.olivesoftware.com/Default/Client.asp ?Enter=true&skin=BL/.

However, it looks like it might (somehow) eventually be limited to education users only: http://www.bl.uk/collections/britishnewspapers1800 to1900.html/ which would be crazy.
