A loud shout out to the finger image removal technologies. You all contribute to making #bookhistory with access to the originals worth while:

This happens when fingers that were used to hold down a book's page to be scanned were captured, and a software repairs this space automatically.

Medieval and early modern historians, or others who use digital collections! 🍁

When using a digital library/collection for research, are you more focused on individual (digital) manuscripts/books or on the broader context of the library?

What does a (digital) library mean to you?

Answers are 💕

Lena Ciochon beschreibt im Virtuellen Objekt des Monats August, wie trotz schlechter Quellenlage die Figur des St. Stanisław in VR zur Aufführung kommt und welche Rolle Digitalisierungsprozesse und Gamification-Ansätze für die Geschichtsvermittlung spielen.

Dear medievalist and library Bluesky ☀️

Can someone help me get a good quality photo or scan of the photographic facsimile of the Utrecht Psalter, specifically fol. 1v, published in 1875 by Spencer, Sawyer, Bird&Co?

(this is for my upcoming book 🙈)
