Digitized Medieval Manuscripts

I read today on Guido's Hand, the blog of the Oberlin Conservatory Library, a syndicated article by John Tagliabue from the New York Times entitled, "Bringing a Trove of Medieval Manuscripts Online for the Ages." This article describes the
"Codices Electronici Sangallenses," or Digital Abbey Library of St. Gallen, Switzerland. Currently, this database contains 144 digitized manuscripts, with updates added continually. There are links to this database from the NIU Libraries History and Library Science pages.
