The Vatican library launches a project to digitise thousands of historical manuscripts, dating from the origins of the Church to the 20th century, and make them available online.
Working with the Japanese technology group NTT Data, the library intends to scan and digitally archive about 1.5 million pages from the library’s collection of manuscripts, which comprises 82,000 items and 41 million pages. The initial project will take four years and may be extended.
