 The British Library is one of the most important research libraries in the world. It contains a vast number of manuscripts and printed materials as well as philatelic maps and other formats. We also have one of the most important Hebrew collection of manuscripts among the world libraries. The collection was amassed over several centuries and currently includes over 3,000 manuscripts. The manuscripts represent all the areas of Jewish knowledge and are divided into religious texts and secular texts. And here I have to stop and say that not only do we have manuscripts in book format, codices, but we also have over 80 scrolls, charters as well, and single sheets. Our mission is to promote knowledge and attract as many users and as many researchers to the British Library. So one way of actually making accessible our material, including the Hebrew manuscript, is to digitize the material that we have here. The libraries engage in many different projects of digitization, but the Hebrew project is exceptionally important because so far people had to come to the library in order to consult and research the manuscript. So nowadays by digitizing them will make them available not only to scholars, users, academics, but to a very wide audience.
