We provide a directory of tools organized by research activity, as well as reviews of select tools in which we not only describe the tool's features, but also explore how it might be employed most effectively by researchers.

British Library Digitised Manuscripts

The Greek Manuscripts Digitisation Project, funded by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, was a pilot project devoted to the full digitisation of 284 Greek manuscripts. The digitised manuscripts, together with summary catalogue descriptions, are now available at the Digitised  anuscripts section of the British Library's website. The project helped us develop policies and workflows, and acquire skills and experience, that can be applied to the mass-digitisation of all the British Library's pre-1600 manuscripts.
