Digital Repatriation of Faroese Manuscripts

The primary scholarly goal of the project is to collect and create complete XML-encoded catalogue entries of Faroese manuscript material held in collections in Copenhagen, Tórshavn and Reykjavík. These entries will be uploaded and published on the online catalogue database handrit.org (handrit.is) to be used by scholars and students alike. In addition to the catalogue, which can be accessed by both scholars and the general public alike, the project will result in an anthology of Faroese manuscripts, highlighting the variety of manuscript types, contents, histories, and social contexts.
