This University of Cambridge website led by Dr John van Wyhe is a fine example of manuscript catalogue in my view because:

  • It is a well-designed and informative website
  • There is an option to view scans of text and images side by side
  • Links for catalogues are positioned next to the catogery headings, together with the introduction and browse option; this feature accommodates browsability and serendipity of a physical library
