Date: Tue, 8 Dec 2009 16:07:14 -0000 From: "Henshaw, Christy" C.Henshaw@wellcome.ac.uk To: diglib@infoserv.inist.fr Subject: Wellcome Arabic manuscript digitisation project
The Wellcome Library, Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and King's College London, have formed a partnership to create a free searchable online catalogue of 500 Islamic manuscripts in the Wellcome Library.
The partners will
* design a cataloguing system to create and manage descriptive metadata for Asian manuscripts, including adapting the ENRICH TEI metadata schema * catalogue the manuscripts using this tool * create cover-to-cover, high quality digital photographs of the manuscripts * produce a website to enable sophisticated access to the metadata and its associated digital images.
The website will be hosted by the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and digitised content will also be available via the Wellcome Library catalogue, pending inclusion of the complete catalogue on the Wellcome site when circumstances permit.
The project is partly funded by a grant from the JISC's Islamic Studies Programme.
