Hill Monastic Manuscript Library online catalogue



I'm posting this for a colleague who is not on this listserv.  Please direct any questions or comments to the person named at the bottom of the release.  Thanks!
 

Dear colleagues
The Hill Monastic Manuscript Library has just put a portion of its catalogue
online at http://www.hmml.org/resources/resource.html
<http://www.hmml.org/resources/resource.html> . 

The catalogue follows the EAMMS standards for electronic manuscript cataloguing, using the Access database developed for Digital Scriptorium.  The data comes from the HMML inventory cards, which are brief descriptions of the manuscript and its contents.  There has been some tweaking; for example, the "Source" field contains the HMML project number. This online catalogue currently contains approximately 30,000 of the 90,000 inventory records in HMML's collection. Most of HMML's Austrian collection is now available. 

As a work in progress there are errata and potentially inaccurate entries. HMML welcomes corrections from users. Include the Source number and the name of the field that needs correction.  I am working on the obvious typographical errors that have appeared in the drop down menus.  Please share your thoughts and suggestions on the catalogue
