About the project
</Typography>
<Typography paragraph={true}>
Mapping Manuscript Migrations (MMM) has been developed with funding from the Trans-Atlantic
Platform under its Digging into Data Challenge (2017-2019). The partners in this project are
the University of Oxford, the University of Pennsylvania, Aalto University,
and the Institut de recherche et dhistoire des textes.
Funding has been provided by the UK Economic and Social Research Council,
the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Academy of Finland, and the
Agence nationale de la recherche.

MMM is intended to enable large-scale exploration of data relating to the history and provenance
of (primarily) Western European medieval and early modern manuscripts.

Data
</Typography>
<Typography paragraph={true}>
MMM combines data from three specialist databases:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://sdbm.library.upenn.edu/" target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>
Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts
</a></li>
<li><a href="http://bibale.irht.cnrs.fr/" target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>
Bibale
</a></li>
<li><a href="https://medieval.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/" target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>
Medieval Manuscripts in Oxford Libraries
</a></li>
</ul>
</Typography>
<Typography paragraph={true}>
The data have been combined using a unified Data Model based on the CIDOC-CRM and FRBRoo
ontologies. A diagram of the Data Model can be seen <a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1uyTA8Prwtts5g13eor48tKHk_g63NaaG" target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>
here</a>. The data have not been corrected or amended in any way. If you notice an error in the data,
please report it to the custodians of the original database.

Manuscripts, Actors, and Places. The data resulting from a search or a filtered browse can be
exported in the form of a CSV file. Click on the Export option and then on the button
