Fans and scholars of
medieval illuminated manuscripts may enjoy BiblioPhilly, a new digital
interface for the Bibliotheca Philadelphiensis project. This three-year
project, which launched in 2016, has been digitizing 160,000 manuscript pages
held by 15 libraries to "create the country's largest regional online
collection of medieval manuscripts." The BiblioPhilly interface was made
public in November 2018, and the project is due to be completed in the spring
of 2019. Visitors to BiblioPhilly can search this repository of manuscripts by
keyword and filter their search by facets such as book type, century,
geographic origin, and more. Upon selecting a manuscript, visitors are treated
to high-resolution, full-color images with an interactive page-turning interface,
as well as descriptive metadata, additional images of its binding, and other
information. Images and their metadata are also freely available to download
under a Creative Commons license. The Bibliotheca Philadelphiensis project was
funded by a grant from the Council on Library and Information Resources, and it
was organized by the Free Library of Philadelphia, Lehigh University, and the
Penn Libraries.
