Universities of Cambridge and Heidelbergt Announce Digitization Project

The University of Cambridge posted on their web site:

In a major collaboration announced today (March 28, 2019), Cambridge University Library, 12 Cambridge colleges, the Fitzwilliam Museum, Heidelberg University Library and the Vatican Library have come together as part of a two-year £1.6m project, funded by the Polonsky Foundation, to digitise more than 800 medieval manuscripts... Hundreds of medieval and early modern Greek manuscripts – including classical texts and some of the most important treatises on religion, mathematics, history, drama and philosophy – are to be digitised and made available to anyone with access to the internet.

While the digitizing is a great asset, just as important is the cataloging and conservation that will be accomplished in this project. You can see what's available now on the Cambridge Digital Library and the Heidelberg Digital Library.
