The Sch\u00f8yen Collection<\/a>\u00a0is an impressive resource for the study of historical manuscripts. As\u00a0described on the website, “The Collection, based in London and Oslo, contains over 20,000 significant manuscripts of major cultural importance and is an important part of the world\u2019s heritage.”<\/p>\n

Begun about 1920 and probably digitized beginning in 2000, the collection spans centuries and continents. The website is easy to navigate and well organized in the old-style way — that is, by categories. It’s clear that some of the scanning was done earlier in the development of digitization techniques, but it is nevertheless a valuable resource.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Christopher Haanes<\/a> for pointing the way to this digitized repository of historical manuscripts.<\/p>\n

I’ve been traveling for the past few weeks, but I’m back in my studio and eager to get back to work. The next few posts will include images\u00a0from my travels in Crete and Israel.<\/p>\n
