In 2004, Oxford University entered into partnership with Google to scan the Bodleian Libraries'
out-of-copyright holdings and suitability for scanning,in particular those from the 19th century. It is: one of the original "big five" institutions to sign-up to Google's Library Partnership Project, the first from outside the US.
Summer 2009, the initial phase of scanning several hundred thousand of the books,
covering a wide range of languages, disciplines, and genres was completed.
This includes the first English translation (from Latin: Philosophæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica) of
Newton's "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy"
