Signing off now. We published 2,100 fragments on Fragmentarium over the last few years, which was good going. And recently we pushed Fragmentarium over the 7,000 fragments.

Interesting palaeographical transitions in this 15th-c. manuscript of the Grandes Chroniques de France: it starts in textualis, then goes to a smaller modulus of textualis, and then in the middle of the page to cursive (BnF, fr. 10136)

This cannot be reiterated enough! Digitization is NOT preservation.
Never trust that anything that’s digitised or available online will be available forever. Digitisation is not preservation, and tech companies aren’t archivists or librarians. The presence of hard copy in a physical collection is the only guarantee of long-term survival
