Abstract & Notes
This volume presents six papers from the 2007 CERL seminar Script, Print and the Internet: The Early-Modern Book and its Readers, hosted by the Universitetsbibliotek, Uppsala. The contributions explore the interplay between manuscript and printed culture, early-modern readership, and digital access. Topics include historical retrieval systems and shelf-mark practices at Vadstena Abbey (Monica Hedlund), pilot projects for digitising autograph collections (Krister Östlund) and broader digitisation initiatives at the Royal Library, Stockholm (Eva Müller), and distributed searching of manuscript and early-printed book catalogues via the CERL Portal (Ivan Boserup).
Case studies on early printed book collections, cataloguing, and digitisation in Estonia (Tiiu Reimo) and provenance research at the National Library of Portugal (Fernanda Maria Campos) illustrate the integration of traditional bibliographical scholarship with emerging digital tools. Collectively, the papers demonstrate how digital technologies enhance the accessibility, study, and understanding of early-modern European written heritage.
