2012-present. In 2012, Digital Scriptorium successfully transitioned from Columbia to Berkeley. More information....
2007: In
January 2007, a new fully-reengineered
web site was released with
the new domain / URL:
http://www.scriptorium.columbia.edu/
2004: In
2004 Columbia was awarded $300,000
from the National Endowment
for the Humanities to continue
development of Digital Scriptorium,
and move the project from Berkeley
to Columbia.
Background: The
Digital Scriptorium project,
funded chiefly by grants from
the National Endowment for
the Humanities, was originally
a joint project of the Bancroft
Library (UC Berkeley) and the
Rare Book and Manuscript Library
of Columbia University to digitize
and make available on the World
Wide Web cataloging and selected
images from the two universities'
medieval and early Renaissance
manuscript collections. Between
1999 and 2002, additional holdings
from Huntington Library, the
University of Texas, Austin,
and the New York Public Library
have also been incorporated,
along with those of a number
of smaller collections. As
of July 2002, the Digital Scriptorium
includes some 4,000 catalog
records and 15,000 digitized
images; planning is moving
forward to bring in other North
American and European collections.
