	Medieval Bestiary : Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library
		"The Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library is Yale University's principal repository for literary papers and for early manuscripts and rare books in the fields of literature, theology, history, and the natural sciences.
		In addition to its general collection of rare books and manuscripts, the library houses the Yale Collection of American Literature, the Yale Collection of German Literature, the Yale Collection of Western Americana, and the Osborn Collection.
		The Beinecke collections afford opportunities for interdisciplinary research in such fields as medieval, Renaissance, and eighteenth-century studies, art history, photography, American studies, the history of printing, and modernism in art and literature.

	Digitization for Scholarly Use
		Nicole Bouché is head of the Manuscript Unit at The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University, where she oversees processing, cataloging, and conservation of the library's manuscript and archival collections and serves as a member of the library's digital library implementation working group.
		The library is also influenced by experience with a scanning project that got underway at the same time as the Boswell project and is still ongoing: the scanning of over 10,000 public service photonegatives and other image material from the collections, comprising a cross-section of the library's visual material resources.
		Beinecke is a participant in the APIS project, a multi-institutional cataloging, preservation, and digitization project for papyrus, the goal of which is to provide bibliographic and Web-based image access to key papyrus collections nationally and internationally.

	Ask E.T.: Archival methods for rare books and map
		Rare book libraries try to maintain 72 degrees temperature and 50% relative humidity the year round.
		According to rare book dealers and librarians, a stolen rare book is difficult to sell in the rather small world of collectors, dealers, and auction houses; thus insiders or crazed collectors are probably the most likely threat to walk off with something.
		Nearly every policy and action limited access to the wonderful books imprisoned at the Beinecke; it was a book collector's monument with untouched trophies on the shelves, rather than a research library.

	Damn Interesting » The Inexplicable Voynich Manuscript (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Yale University's Beinecke Rare Book Library is in possession of many fascinating historic texts, but perhaps its most perplexing item is a 600 year old, one-of-a-kind book known as the Voynich Manuscript.
		The textual content of this mysterious illustrated book is unknown because it is written in an unknown alphabet and unintelligible language, and despite the efforts of expert cryptographers over many decades, not a single word has been deciphered.
		The actual origin and date of the book are vigorously debated, though most agree that it was written in central Europe in the late 1400s or during the 1500s.
