Dear Matija,

Another web resource that you may want to take into account is the Portuguese Early Music Database. It allows free and universal access to a large number of manuscripts with musical notation written before c. 1650 preserved in many different libraries and archives in Portugal and surrounding Spanish locations. Every manuscript is given in full-colour reproduction and entered with a general description. http://pemdatabase.eu/

Kind regards,

Dear Colleagues,

Can you please give any example of a (small) digital collection of manuscript or printed primary sources which, 1) operates as an independent web-portal AND also 2) their data are in some way included/aggregated into some large collection or digital library?

I am particularly interested in what happens as data pass from a "small" into a "large" digital resource? What kind of data are most suitable and frequent object of such aggregation in our area of digital humanities: only meta-data, or also msDesc, digital images, transcriptions? How "visible" is the original small collection after the aggregation? Etc.

I hope this is not an off-topic question. Thank you for any advice,

Matija
