About Parker Library on the Web
Parker Library on the Web is a collection of high-resolution digital images representing almost 200,000 manuscript pages in the world-famous Parker Library, a peerless collection of medieval manuscript materials fundamental to scholarship in a broad range of humanistic disciplines. It is the product of more than five years joint work by Stanford University, Corpus Christi College and the University of Cambridge, executed with generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and additional support from the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation. In return, the foundations demanded that a business model was to be developed to ensure the financial support of future releases and upgrades. HARRASSOWITZ is the exclusive world-wide distributor and agent for Parker Library on the Web.
