I have created the Bank of Wisdom, it has thousands of rare book files for FREE download. I believe this amazing project deserves to be listed in Wikipedia. I have just sent an email to apply for a grant to help make my web site, www.bankofwisdom.com, more effective. I will include a copy of that email as an introduction to the lifelong work I have done. If this submission was sent to the wrong department to be considered, please forward it to the proper department.

The application for a Grant: ... I have read your Press Release announcing new NEH Grants to “Digitize Essential Humanities Books.” Dear Friends, I have been doing exactly that for the past 50 years or so, and I now have thousands of essential books, and other needed old publications, in my computers in PDF format. My Bank of Wisdom, LLC, web site – www.bankofwisdom.com –  has thousands of these needed books available to the public for FREE download. From the beginning I have supported this needed project from my private income – now Social Security and GE Retirement Pension – as the Bank of Wisdom, and its web site, has never been self-supporting.

I was amazed at the amount of money given to Universities, and the small number of books these Universities has produced with that money. Bank of Wisdom will apply for a Grant, but, 1. Bank of Wisdom is not a University. And, 2. Bank of Wisdom refuses to have itself declared Tax Exempt. Bank of Wisdom will apply for a Grant to be used to build a much needed new, larger, and better, Web Site, and have it professionally managed so as to become known worldwide, and as effective as possible. I need all my PDF files copied into the several formats for Kindle, smart phones, and other formats needed to allow this wealth of information to be read everywhere in the world. Over my lifetime I have collected some 16,000+ rare hard-back books, plus many other scholarly publications, this collection is probably equal to any collection of its kind in the world. So there are still thousands of needed books not yet scanned.

There will need be an overlook committee to see that any Grant money will be used strictly for the purpose described in the Grant announcement, to scan, and make available, needed information to Make the World Better.
