The British Library is home to world-class collections of manuscripts including papyri, medieval illuminated manuscripts and early modern state papers.
The Ancient, Medieval and Early Modern Manuscripts Blog promotes the work of the curators at the Library, who are responsible for these items and thousands more, including medieval historical and literary manuscripts, charters and seals, and early modern manuscripts, from Homer to the Codex Sinaiticus, from Beowulf to Chaucer, and from Magna Carta to the papers of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I.
This blog provides regular updates on digitisation projects, current research, and on their exhibition programme.
