Abstrakt: Bridget Whearty's book, "Digital Codicology: Medieval Books and Modern Labor," explores the history of digitization and metadata associated with pre-modern manuscripts. Whearty presents case studies from her own career, highlighting the behind-the-scenes work of curators, catalogers, data managers, and imaging specialists who make digital access to manuscripts possible. She also addresses the privilege of access and the challenges of standardization and discoverability in digital cataloging. The book offers valuable insights into the digitization process and its implications for the study of medieval manuscripts. [Extracted from the article]
