(17 March 2015) NTT DATA Corporation, a global IT services provider, has enabled the Vatican Apostolic Library, also known as ‘Popes Library’, to digitize ancient manuscripts and make them available to people worldwide who can access these high-resolution digitally formatted ancient manuscripts on any digital media such as PC, mobile, tab, etc. In the first phase in October 2014, NTT DATA deployed a new application for accessing and browsing the Vatican Apostolic Library’s digital archive online, enabling people to view digital reproductions of more than 4,000 ancient manuscripts at the Library’s website.
This new Vatican Apostolic Library’s digital archiving system can also be accessed at the portal site maintained by Digita Vaticana, an affiliated foundation that raises funds to support the Library’s preservation projects.
