- IAmGraydon 3y agoI think you mean Alexandria.
- sillysaurusx 3y agoThere were actually two libraries. Alexandria was the better known of the two, so it always drowns out the search results, but the Library of Alexander has a long and storied history. https://www.alexander.lib.ia.us/ https://www.alexander.lib.ia.us/ Still a shadow of its former self though.
- xtracto 3y agoOr like gigapedia : https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2012/3/1/the-disappearing-virtual-library/ https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2012/3/1/the-disappearing... Few people remember that. But losing it was such a shame.
- ta988 3y agoThe great library was lost by abandon not fire. That's a really strongly held belief that's hard to debunk unfortunately.
