Our colleagues arrive in Puducherry French Institute of Pondicherry (IFP) and EFEO today to start examining historical palm-leaf #manuscripts in our Container Lab. Our local partners have built a superb palm roof over it to protect it from the heat: It's now all set and stays there until late 2025
One of the most dangerous enemies of #manuscripts is dust: It provides nesting material for insects and is an incubator for mould spores. The new episode of our video series on #Nepalese manuscripts deals with appropriate cleaning measures. Full version: csmc.uni-hamburg.de/news/2024-07-2…
Every written artefact is unique, but only some are ‘#originals’. The new #openaccess volume of ‘manuscript cultures’ introduces the concept of ‘originators’ to capture the diverse ways in which people transform these artefacts into something special: csmc.uni-hamburg.de/publications/m…
We are dedicated to the FAIR and CARE principles for #research #data. Where possible, we make this data available #openaccess, like this dataset of an enveloped cuneiform tablet (2nd millennium BCE), analysed with our mobile CT scanner ENCI Musée du Louvre: fdr.uni-hamburg.de/record/14776
Excited to announce the relaunch of our journal ‘manuscript cultures’ as peer-reviewed Diamond #OpenAccess journal, hosted by Hamburg University Press Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg! The first issue in the new format is now available and submissions of articles are welcome: journals.sub.uni-hamburg.de/hup4/mc/index
