"Google Culture"? Nice, but will it last? Remember the book and newspaper scanning projects?

Yeah, the one which allowed me to track down one of the only existing records of the business owned by my great great grandfather[1]? What about it?

Google shut down the newspaper scanning operation in 2011, to "concentrate instead on newer projects that help the industry, such as Google One Pass"[1], a paywall system. Google One Pass failed and was canceled in 2012.
