According to a report published in ‘The Independent’, the Manchester University’s John Rylands Library will enable access to many original medieval manuscripts (including portions of ‘Canterbury Tales’) online. This digitization will help to make available the manuscripts which are inherently fragile. For the first time it will be possible to compare our manuscripts directly with other versions of the text in libraries across the world. This will help to open new areas of research.
The process of digitization will begin in October this year. It will be done using a high definition camera. The results are expected by late 2009.
So we have a nice thing to look forward to!
