Abstract & Notes
This volume brings together six papers from the 2003 CERL conference European Cultural Heritage in the Digital Age, hosted by the National Library of Russia in St Petersburg. The contributions examine how digital technologies shape the creation, preservation, and accessibility of Europe’s written heritage.
Topics include book annotations as historical sources (Ludmilla Kisseleva), conservation challenges in manuscript collections (Natalia Elagina), and a neglected Carolingian edition revealing the need for accurate palaeographical description (Vladimir Mazhuga). Case studies from the Netherlands (Jan Bos) and Italy (Luisa Buson) present national initiatives to improve digital access, while Kai Ekholm (Helsinki) outlines strategies for successful digitisation. Collectively, the papers reflect the opportunities and challenges facing libraries and scholars as cultural heritage enters the digital age.
