Digitizing a book and knowing what book it is, is what
the Internet Archive and OpenLibrary do. I would have
wanted them to also know which articles/chapters are
in each book, i.e. to add mark-up equivalent to the
table of contents, especially when each chapter has its
own author.

But next to a book's printed table of contents one often
finds a list of illustrations. They can be woodcuts of
famous paintings, they can be made by different artists,
have titles of their own, depicting various scenes that
would be nice if one could search for.

Are there any digitization projects (or library projects)
that carefully index the illustrations found in books,
i.e. that reconstruct the list of illustrations in digital
markup?
