Founded in autumn 1998 by Remus Cernea,[1] among their projects to date as of 2004[update] are "virtual encyclopedias" on Constantin Brâncuși, Nichita Stănescu, and I.L.
They have also produced several "virtual anthologies" of contemporary Romanian artists, writers, and academics.
Each of these anthologies has contained the equivalent of fifty ordinary books on a CD-ROM and has sold for a price comparable to a single book.
This strategy is particularly interesting for a country where money is generally in short supply, but where most academics and intellectuals have access to computers.
