Saint John's University

The Hill Museum & Manuscript Library (HMML), a sponsored program of Saint John’s University, will lead a team of collaborators drawn from St. Louis University, the University of Kentucky, and other organizations to build vHMML, a new integrated online environment for the discovery and use of digitized manuscripts, and collaborative scholarship among students and scholars in the manuscript studies and paleography fields. A library of introductory texts to the field and a glossary of terms used in manuscript studies will help make vHMML more easily accessible to interested non-experts. The project will explore new models of collaboration between technical experts, scholars, archivists and librarians, and students in building a research community’s new online collaboration and learning space.
