Digitized medieval manuscripts
During the Folger's construction project (2020-2023), a selection of twenty-nine pre-modern manuscripts were placed on deposit at the University of Pennsylvania's Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts in Philadelphia. This partnership leverages the scholarly expertise of Penn's Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies (SIMS), the digitization capabilities of the Schoenberg Center for Electronic Text and Image (SCETI), and the open-access OPenn repository for primary digital resources. During the 2021-2022 academic year, these items were given enhanced metadata by staff at SIMS, were digitized by SCETI, and were added to the Folger Shakespeare Library collection in OPenn. (These digital images will also be added to the Folger Shakespeare Library's own digital image library at a future date. Please use the digitized copies in OPenn for now.)
