Early Manuscripts at Oxford University: "Early Manuscripts at Oxford University
Digital facsimiles of complete manuscripts, scanned directly from the originals"

Beginning with collections of Celtic manuscripts from several Oxford libraries (manuscripts digitised in this phase date from the 9th to the 19th centuries, and are of Irish, Welsh, Cornish and Breton origin), the project was subsequently extended to include a broader range (dating from the 9th to the 16th centuries and of various origins).

This project completed in September 2000. However, in January 2001, the web server providing access to the images failed, and interim responsibility was taken up by the Oxford University Libraries Automation Service's R&D section. In relocating the web site we also undertook a complete redesign of the web site, as well as correcting a number of broken links in the original site
