  .... The expense of digitizing documents in legible
  form and of maintaining them online is very high, and our holdings
  continue to grow. ....

  No research library (not the Library of Congress, not the National
  Archvies, not the wealthiest universities) has put more than a tiny
  fraction of its holdings on line. .... but I realize that research often requires a personal visit to a
  repository, and I am confident that it always will.
