Help us find forgotten medieval manuscript fragments

Do you work in a library, archive or museum in the Nordic region, and have come across medieval books or manuscript fragments that you suspect are not yet registered or catalogued anywhere? 

Or do you work in a library, archive or museum outside of the Nordic region, and have come across medieval books or manuscript fragments that you suspect have a connection to the Nordics? 

If so, we would like to hear from you!

The CODICUM project is building a comprehensive overview of collections with medieval books and fragments from across the Nordic region, and your contribution could be invaluable. 

Whether you're a librarian, researcher, student, or simply someone with access to historical materials from the Nordics, we invite you to help us uncover and document these hidden pieces of history.
