With an average of nearly a terabyte of data preserved every month, the Wellcome Library, a medical-related archive (part of the Wellcome Trust charitable foundation), pays particular attention to the issues of data growth and obsolescence. Located just a stone's throw from the British Library, the Wellcome Library contains a huge collection of material, much of it in digital form.

The Carousel Carver
by Perdita Buchan
This evocative historical novel tells the story of Giacinto, who emigrates from Italy in 1912 and becomes a carousel carver during the golden age of the craft in America, and Rosa, the eight-year-old orphan girl thrust into his care.
The Carousel Carver vividly recreates the world of the immigrant carvers—from the inspiration found in fiery horses, big cats, and children's laughter to the clatter, sawdust, and politics of Philadelphia's bustling multicultural workshops. This is an engaging and insightful tale of tolerance, second chances, and what it means for those once adrift to call America home.
