This paper analyzes the World Digital Library (WDL), a new system to provide an open-access information platform to a wider audience, launched on 21 April 2009 by UNESCO and 32 partner institutions. The WDL features high-quality digital items reflecting the cultural heritage of all UNESCO member countries. The WDL represents a shift in digital library projects from a focus on quantity for its own sake to quality. Quantity remains a priority, but not at the expense of the quality standards established during the start-up phase.
