Pers ée

[Dominik Wujastyk]

This is grim news. Persée is a magnificent resource, and like Birgit, I've
used it often.

If the forces of darkness prevail, I hope they will at least transfer the
existing digitized materials to a public repository such as the Hathi Trust.

I've signed the petition.  Thank you for alerting me, Dominic.

Best,
DW
