About this blog

The British Library is home to world-class collections of manuscripts including papyri, medieval illuminated manuscripts and early modern state papers.

Our Ancient, Medieval and Early Modern Manuscripts Blog promotes the work of our curators, who are responsible for these items and thousands more, including medieval historical and literary manuscripts, charters and seals, and early modern manuscripts, from Homer to the Codex Sinaiticus, from Beowulf to Chaucer, and from Magna Carta to the papers of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I.

This blog provides regular updates on our digitisation projects, on current research, and on our exhibition programme.
