Digital library of British printed images to 1700

这个项目将提供一些从早期现代英国流传下来的最生动的图像的在线访问--即大英博物馆收藏的整个16世纪和17世纪的英国版画。目前只有部分编目，很难获取。此外，还将添加一个完整的雕刻标题页语料库，这些标题页来自那个时期。这些材料的扫描图像将在专门构建的网站上以带注释和完全可搜索的形式呈现。该项目还将促进对版画及其与书籍和那个时期文化的关系的研究。

This project will provide online access to some of the most vivid images that have come down to us from early modern Britain - namely, the entire collection of 16th and 17th century British prints in the British Museum. This is currently only partially catalogued and difficult to access. To this will be added a full corpus of engraved title-pages from the period. Scanned images of this material will be presented in annotated and fully searchable form on a purpose-built website. The project will also promote research on prints and their relationship to books and to the culture of the period.
