Entire Vatican Library to be digitized across 2.8 petabytes of storage
The Vatican has been going high-tech lately, and its next step is digitizing the entire Apostolic Library — all 40 million pages of it.

The library holds nearly 90,000 documents, including rare pieces like the Gutenberg Bible, one of the first Western books printed on moveable type.
