World initiatives -- Africa -- Antarctica -- Asia -- Europe -- North America -- Oceania -- South America.

This reference material provides selections, organizations, and descriptions of authoritative, useful and permanent worldwide digital collections, in order, for users to easily access and utilize whatever resources are available for any individual country. There is an annotation which covers the seven continents of the world. Each annotation describes what the collector has digitized (e.g. images, photographs, documents of historical interest, maps, illustrations, or videos). The goal of each annotation is being highlighted why a collection is online, what it covers, who is responsible for it, and how to explore it.
