Virtual Hill Museum & Manuscript Library

http://www.vhmml.org/

The Virtual Hill Museum & Manuscript Library (HMML) [in Collegeville, Minnesota] is designed to offer researchers - both beginner and advanced - the tools they need to make good use of manuscripts from Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia. Here readers will find high resolution images of manuscripts from a variety of times and geographies. Educators may like to select the Learn button under Education to access resources that will bring the study of manuscripts to life for high school and college students. The section dedicated to Latin Scripts, for instance, provides an introduction to the basic terminology of Latin scripts and letters, as well as an introduction to papyrus, parchment, and codicology. Other sections cover topics such as Classical Antiquity, Christian Late Antiquity, and others. Each section includes an historical orientation to the time period, and then invites students into the exciting world of original transcripts with tools designed to give first hand experience of ancient writings (via https://scout.wisc.edu/archives/r46755/virtual_hill_museum__manuscript_library).
