> The Rare Book & Manuscript Library of the University of Pennsylvania is
> pleased to announce the conclusion of a two-year project, funded by the
> National Endowment for the Humanities, to digitize and make available
> on the World Wide Web its medieval and Renaissance manuscripts. *Penn
> in Hand: Selected Manuscripts*
> (http://dla.library.upenn.edu/dla/medren/) currently offers over 950
> entries for facsimiles of manuscripts produced in Europe before 1601
> and now held by Penn.  Over the next year another 260+ facsimiles will
> appear on the site for collections in which some of the materials date
> prior to 1601.  In addition, the Web site presents approximately one
> hundred facsimiles for the Lawrence J. Schoenberg Collection, an
> important group of early manuscripts, comprising mostly secular texts
> related to mathematics, science, and technology.  In April 2011 the
> Schoenbergs announced a formal agreement with the University of
> Pennsylvania to donate their collection over the next several years.
> By the end of 2012 facsimiles for the entire Lawrence J. Schoenberg
> Collection will appear on *Penn in Hand*, yielding over 1,400 entries
> for European manuscripts dated before 1601.  The site allows several
> levels of magnification, single-page as well as opening views, and both
> keyword and faceted searching; it includes tables of contents when
> appropriate, as well as direct links to illustrations.
