The British Library has a collection of digital books on its site that are worth viewing.
Called "Turning the Books", this virtual gallery allows you to view scans of classic books, flip the pages and in some cases have the book read to you. Some of the items include: early atlases, masterpieces from the Renaissance, Leonardo sketches, Mozart's diary, etc. You can view static images if you don't have Adobe Shockwave installed, but the flippable pages make it a great experience. (You may have more luck with Firefox.) Art and Socials teachers will find this particularly interesting. (See the online gallery for more exhibitions: http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/index.html)
