Bringing a Trove of Medieval Manuscripts Online for the Ages

ST. GALLEN, Switzerland ­ One of the oldest and 
most valuable collections of handwritten medieval 
books in the world, housed in the magnificent 
baroque halls of the library in this town’s 
abbey, is going online with the help of a $1 
million grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
(see link for rest of article...). 

This is so great as more libraries and museums are jumping onto the digital age.  Between what the Hill Monastic Libary is working on with digital imagery of manuscript around the world, and the European sources, we'll be able to view and study to our hearts content! Yippee!
