The Peripheral Manuscripts Project maintains a public-facing website over at https://peripheralmss.org/. Navigate to that site for a description of our project, contact information, project news, and other information.
The Peripheral Manuscripts Project Digital Collection is currently in-progress. Collections will be added over the next few months.
This GitHub repository hosts some project files for which we want to maintain a clear record of file history. For now, this is mostly limited to our project documentation.
Our metadata documentation is based on the metadata practices of the Bibliotheca Philadelphiensis Project. There are three principal files (in development):
- Style Guide. General guidelines for style, usage, and terminology
- Metadata Guide. Line-item instructions for entry of collection- and item-level metadata.
We have digitization guidelines and template Memoranda of Understanding and Care Agreements for the project:
- Digitization Guidelines
- MOU and Care Agreement for Digitization led by Indiana University Libraries
- MOU for Digitiztion led by Partners
The directory archive contains our CLIR grant application (the main application document and relevant appendices).
This repository also contains our Community Agreement and Code of Conduct.
