British Library Papyri Images

In 2023, the British Library suffered a cyber attack and has not been able to recover their site. Thankfully, Hugh Cayless just brought to my attention that all of the images as they appeared on the website in June 2021 have now been compiled and made available on Archive.org (also for download). This is a great resource for those trying to find images of BL papyri and ostraca. It's a bit difficult to navigate, but if you know the number of what you are looking for you, you can try to change the URL to bring it up.

British Library Digitizing Hebrew Manuscript Collection

The British Library has announced here that they will be digitizing 1250 of their collection of over 3000 Hebrew manuscripts. This includes some very important biblical manuscripts, as well as other Jewish literature. This is a very promising development indeed!
