uhm isn’t that kinda what libgen does for digital materials and scihub for papers? although it is far from being complete. but I’ve heard from online leftists at least that stuff like libgen and the marxist / anarchist library pages have been instrumental for knowledge sharing
Yes, LibGen and SciHub are excellent examples of this approach, event if they do not curate (comprehensive access is an important asset for public in itself.). Their approach, which I find interesting, is to extend this idea to social and physical world (e.g. efforts in physical world already exist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_of_things).
hm actually I take that back, the other link about Europeana shows the importance of (any but particularly, good) curation for finding new stuff, which doesn’t exist in libgen
