Digitising heritage treasures

Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 Library houses a wealth of heritage. It owns not only old manuscripts that originally belonged to Utrecht monasteries and chapters in the Middle Ages, but also a large number of old and new maps, pamphlets, popular printed matter, archives of former professors, all kinds of modern sources, etc. For years, the library has been working to digitise, enrich, and make accessible this in-house heritage for teaching and research. Not only for staff and students at Utrecht 木瓜福利影视, but for other interested parties as well. By working according to the digital heritage information can be made more visible, usable and sustainable. In this way, together we ensure the digital memory of the Netherlands.
