The document discusses The Mundaneum project started by Paul Otlet in 1893. The Mundaneum's mission was to gather all of the world's knowledge through indexing and make it accessible to all people through different communication channels. Paul Otlet envisioned a system where anyone could access text and information from their armchair on an individual screen and contemplate all of creation. The Mundaneum indexed over 18 million index cards containing information and sought to be a major search engine before the digital age.

THE AMBITION
"From a distance, everyone will be able to read text,
enlarged and limited to the desired subject, projected
on an individual screen. In this way, everyone from
his armchair will be able to contemplate the whole of
creation, in whole or in certain parts."
