Print Wikipedia

As first shown at the Denny Gallery in New York City, United States, during summer 2015,[2] the project included a display of the spines of the first 1,980 volumes in the set.

[1][3] The 106 printed volumes included only text of the encyclopedia articles: images and references were omitted.

They then engaged an assistant, Jonathan Kirinathan, to aid with the programming of the code to compile, format, and upload the entire contents of English Wikipedia.

[1] The print files were uploaded to book self-publisher Lulu.com and made available for printout as paper volumes.

[10] PediaPress had attempted to raise money for a full English Wikipedia printout on Indiegogo in 2014, with a goal of $50,000 (£30,000), but the project was pulled.
