Friends contribute financially to support our mission to provide cross-institutional digital access to their collections of pre-modern manuscripts and enhance access and appreciation of historically significant but often understudied manuscript materials.
We are currently fundraising to continue the Manuscript Data Curation Graduate Student Fellowship into the 2024-2025 academic year. A primary role of Manuscript Data Curation Graduate Student Fellow is to work with member institutions to catalog and describe their premodern collections. Donate today to continue this important service in the Digital Scriptorium community (please include the note “Manuscript Data Curation Fellowship Fund”).
