Dr. Jerome Baschet, Professor at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris, and member of the Groupe d'anthropologie historique de l'Occident Medieval (more info here: http://gahom.ehess.fr/document.php?id=505), led in the early nineties a team in charge of the project of indexing the Vatican Library and the creation of a thesaurus.

Two bibliographic references about this experience are: Baschet, J., "Les videodisques de manuscrits de la Bibliotheque Vaticane et la realisation d'une base de donnees iconographique", Arte medievale, II Serie, Anno VI, n.1 (1992): 199-205, and Baschet, J., "Remarques sur l'indexation iconographique. L'experience des videodisques des manuscrits de la Bibliotheue Vaticane", Melanges de l'Ecole Française de Rome. Moyen Age, T. 106, 1 (1994): 179-188.

Dear List,

In 2009, the Digital Medievalist Journal will be publishing a special
issue on the lessons learned from pre-web digital medieval projects.
The editors have compiled a list of scholars we will be inviting to
submit articles for this issue, however we feel the list as it stands
is rather Anglo-centric. We are turning to the list to suggest
potential authors - either scholars who themselves developed pre-web
projects, or who have studied such projects with an historical view.
We would especially like the names of non-US, non-Canadian, and
non-English scholars. Please send suggestions to the DM list, or
directly to the DM Editorial Board (editors@digitalmedievalist.org).

Many thanks,
Dot
