The university accepted the grant from the Oxford Martin School, a research institute endowed in 2005 by James Martin, an IT entrepreneur who has donated almost £100m to Oxford. In return,the school gets exclusive use of the university's Old Indian Institute building, displacing a large collection of history books. <a href="http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/burgers-in-the-bodleian-professors-fume-quietly/story-fnb64oi6-1226363413562" target="_blank">Click here to read this article from The Australian</a> <object height="420" width="560"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HNUuiVXYpQw?version=3&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HNUuiVXYpQw?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="420" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

Burgers in the Bodleian? Professors fume (quietly)

A collaboration between the University of Oxford’s Bodleian Library and the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana at the Vatican will bring historical texts dating back to the Middle Ages into the digital era. 1.5 million pages from both collections will be digitised and made publicly available. The Bodleian Libraries and the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana will embark on a new collaborative digitisation project with the aim of opening up repositories of medieval and early modern texts and making a selection of their remarkable treasures freely available online to researchers and the general public worldwide. The digitised collections will be in three subject areas: Greek manuscripts, 15th-century printed books (incunabula) and Hebrew manuscripts and early printed books. These areas have been chosen for the strength of the collections in both libraries and their importance for scholarship in their respective fields. The project will span four years and will result in approximately 1.5 million pages being made available in digital format <a href="http://www.medievalists.net/2012/04/12/university-of-oxford-and-vatican-to-digitize-1-5-million-pages-of-historical-texts/" target="_blank">Click here to read this article from Medievalists.net</a>
