About
A Digital Resource Award for a project to digitise Samual Pepys’s collection of medieval manuscripts and book fragments to offer wider opportunities to study a new research avenue in the field of fragmentology.
The project enabled the digitisation of Samuel Pepys’s collection of early manuscript and printed book fragments
to be made available online. The images of the fragments, along with the associated metadata
describing them, has been made available on the Fragmentarium Digital Laboratory – the leading online
repository of manuscript fragments.
