Jim Davila's paleojudaica blog had a post today on this article, TECHNOLOGY WATCH: The Wall Street Journal has a good survey article of recent developments in the digitization of ancient and medieval manuscripts.

He links to previous blog posts:

For the work of Father Columba Stewart (the Benedictine monk), see here. For the Oxyrhynchus Papyri (the garbage dump) see here and here. For the Timbuktu archives, see here. For projects to digitize the manuscripts of the St. Catherine's Monastery, see here and here. For the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts, see here. For the Archimedes palimpsest see here, here, and here.

Thanks Mike Fieschko. I was going to be lazy and ping this after I did the Digest, but now I'm not.

I think there's actually an oxyrhynchus keyword, but that's FR for ya. :')

Okay, I'm dozing off in the chair. This will have to wait.

Now if the stuff can be reprinted on some durable medium so it doesn’t get lost again when digital formats change.
