Wellcome Library Arabic manuscript digitization project

The Wellcome Library in London, England, has partnered with the Bibliotheca Alexandrina and King's College London to create a free, searchable, online catalog of 500 Islamic manuscripts in the Wellcome Library. According to the announcement on the DIGLIB mailing list (02009 12 08), "The website will be hosted by the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and digitised content will also be available via the Wellcome Library catalogue, pending inclusion of the complete catalogue on the Wellcome site when circumstances permit."
