So psyched to see DS growing like this in such a short time since launch. Maybe an online union catalog of all North American mss isn’t such a crazy idea. Good work @digitalscriptorium.bsky.social!
Newly added to the DS Catalog: over 1,000 manuscript records from DS members located in the Windy City!

Time for a DS SPARQL Viz Quiz! (or "DS Jeopardy" as @lransom.bsky.social likes to call it!)

Here's a simple visualization from our DS Wikibase Query Service. Which author in our DS data would produce the solution shown here?

Hint: if you can read SPARQL, the query is here: tinyurl.com/2ybjm9ge

DS Catalog descriptions are sourced from original records created by scholars and catalogers across multiple institutions, which include a variety of subject terms to help people find manuscripts of interest.

it’s Provenance Jeopardy!
Answer: Manuscripts formerly owned by Thomas Phillipps by the owning DS member institution!
