"To strengthen Stanford University Library holdings in the field of Western Medieval thought and its influence on modern times"

The goal is to digitize on an ongoing basis printed reference works, source collections, and primary and secondary books in the broad area of medieval and modern thought. Current local research needs help to determine the material selected for digitization. Several special interest areas are being pursued.

A facsimile of the work and searchable text is being created, cataloged in Socrates, and delivered over the web. Digitization of texts began Summer 2002. Content is being drawn from the collections of the Stanford libraries and other member libraries of the Research Library Cooperative Program.

Financial support for this project is from Smart Family Foundation and Allan Morgan Standish bookfund, established by Beatrix Mesmer Standish in memory of her husband, and sustained by Mrs. Hugo Oswald and Mrs. David Jacobson.
