Bibliotheca Philadelphiensis is the online home for documentation and progress reports on PACSCL’s medieval manuscript digitization project. BiblioPhilly (our nickname for the project) includes  high-resolution images of more than 160,000 pages of European medieval and early modern codices — virtually all of the holdings of  PACSCL member libraries.

These images will be freely available for downloading by the page, by the manuscript, or by the collection, under a Creative Commons license for you to reuse in any fashion whatever.

Access the images via the OPenn repository, through our searchable interface, and through our collection on the Internet Archive:

This project was generously funded by a grant from the Hidden Collections initiative of the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR). The Hidden Collections initiative in turn is supported by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
