Leveraging the University’s expertise with technology and rare centuries-old manuscripts, Penn Libraries is digitizing and cataloging medieval and early modern texts from 15 Philadelphia-area institutions. The three-year project is known as BiblioPhilly.

We are so thrilled to have our Bibliotheca Philadelphiensis project featured in this story by Penn Today. Click through for a video and you can see the whole process and hear some commentary from yours truly and a few other people involved in the project. If you’ve ever wondered how the digital sausage gets made, now’s your chance to find out!
