About

How to use our full-text searchable images

We are working to digitize every manuscript recipe book in our collection: these images are made available for viewing and download through Luna, our web-based image viewer. We are also in the process of transcribing all recipe books, which are text searchable. Vetted semi-diplomatic transcriptions appear at the bottom of "Media Information" column to the left of each image.

The texts are not modernized and so you are encouraged to search multiple spellings of the word or phrase you are searching. To expand your search, see our suggestions for alternate spellings and our tips for fuzzy searching.

How to use our PDF reading copies

Each transcription has been made into a PDF reading copy for easy reading. These PDFs are downloadable and text searchable, and can be annotated with a PDF editor.

How to use our resources for research and teaching

Our images and transcriptions (available both in plain text file and PDF reading copy formats) are freely available and can be repurposed with acknowledgement of the Folger Shakespeare Library.
