Next-Generation System for Imaging Fragile Codices

2006 – 2009, Funded by the Seaver Institute.

EMEL worked with Stokes Imaging of Austin, Texas, to develop a computer-controlled cradle which supports fragile manuscripts during digitization and which improves efficiency and lowers costs for the digitization of large collections of precious manuscripts.

This system is now installed at:

• St. Catherine’s Monastery of the Sinai, Egypt
• the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore

“Next-generation” digitization system for fragile codices, built by Stokes Imaging according to specifications by EMEL
