Internet History Sourcebooks Update Information 2006: In 2006 the Internet Medieval Sourcebooks and associated sourcebooks are undergoing a major overhaul to remove bad links and add more documents. 1.

I’m absolutely delighted by this news. Here is the front door to the British Library’s Digital Catalogue of Illuminated Manuscripts.
