Sometimes these appear in relation to exhibitions, and are subsequently discontinued. There is an increasing number of manuscript-related apps for the iPad.

Related Projectsĭigitized Medieval Manuscripts is an ongoing project to present digitizations of medieval manuscripts on interactive maps.Ī digital project that is also of potential interest professional users of this page is the Seymour de Ricci Bibliotheca Britannica Manuscripta Digitized Archive, a searchable database of the notes made by De Ricci towards his planned census of medieval manuscripts in British libraries. I have included some notes about contents, formats, and intended audiences. There are now so many that the list below has become extremely unwieldy, but I still use it, and hope it might be useful to others as well. When I began this list many years ago, there were very few manuscript sites on the web. Sometimes a manuscript is physically located in one country, but has been digitized in another in these cases, the sponsoring institution is used (so, for example, the British Library manuscript Cotton Nero A.x, because the images are housed at the University of Calgary, appears under the listings for Canada). Some cooperative projects are to be found at the relevant top level so, a consortium of American libraries will appear as the first entry under the United States, for example. Listings are alphabetical by country, then city, and then by originating institution. The list below is intended to offer quick access to various digitization projects on the web: clicking the project title will take you directly there.
I'll try to indicate on each page once it has moved. My other pages are also gradually migrating to my new domain, but it will be a while before they all relocate. March 11, 2021: This page is no longer being maintained at this location.
