What are the plans of the Vatican Film Library after the completion of the EAMMS project?
The Vatican Film Library holds on microfilm approximately three-quarters of the Greek, Latin, and Western European vernacular manuscripts contained in the Vatican Library in Rome. Many of these manuscripts have already received detailed cataloguing in the Vatican’s series of printed catalogues, but many others have not. The Vatican Film Library intends to provide summary cataloguing access to all of these materials through its own on-line catalogue and to submit these records to OCLC as well. Through the use of controlled subject access, uniform headings, and new catalogue records the wealth of the Vatican Library’s manuscript collections will be made more readily accessible to researchers throughout the world. top of page Content of page by Gregory A.
