The book explores the role of European memory institutions in preserving rare documents that contain valuable public domain content, often kept in inaccessible 'dark-archives.' It highlights the challenges of limited public access, which leads to the neglect of this knowledge. The potential of digitization is emphasized as a transformative solution, enabling rapid global access to these documents and heralding a new 'digital renaissance' in the way public domain content is shared and utilized.
