We are excited to announce the addition of the Uppsala Universitetsbiblioteket / Uppsala University Library to the DMMapp! This valuable link was brought to our attention through the "Report Missing Institution" form, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the person who reported it.
We have just added a link to the Soprintendenza Archivistica e Bibliografica della Puglia e della Basilicata to the DMMapp. The website is super-interesting: unlike the vast majority of the links in the DMMapp, this is full of charters! Accessing them is a bit complex and it involves quite some clicks, but the content is amazing.
We have just fixed the link to the Bibliothèque Mazarine! Also, we have added the link to the same institution in the BVMM. What's the difference?
Busy month! We have just added a few new libraries and updated some information (IIIF / Copyrights mainly) on the database and we thought it would be interesting to share. Here's a quick overview:
Another month has passed! Here are the latest changes on the DMMapp data:
The goal of the DMMapp has always been to ease access to digitized medieval manuscripts across the web. We think did quite an OK job at that until now, but the time has come to radically improve what we currently have!
In December 2017 the Parker Library announced in a blog post that, soon, they would be launching their revamped website. Fast-forward to January 2018 and the Parker Library (Corpus Christi College) in Cambridge indeed launched their new website, Parker on the Web 2.0, made in cooperation with Stanford University Libraries.
The improvements are many, but the biggest, and most exciting, is that now everyone can access their digitized manuscripts freely in high-resolution, without needing an institutional license.
That's how many repositories, websites, libraries, etc. you can now visit through the DMMapp!

Yes, we have been busy updating the data, amd we also took the occasion to delete or update a couple of links that stopped working and that we kindly notified to us via Twitter / Email.
Every year we go through the links in the DMMapp, knowing that unavoidably we will encounter broken links: links that once worked and lead to beautiful digitized manuscripts and that now are simply gone. pouf - no more.
We have received another four new links to digitized manuscripts and we have added them to the DMMapp! This time around, the resources come from Slovenia, the US, and France. Let’s give a look!
