The aim of the Digital Scriptorium, is to promote public viewing of rare manuscripts which are usually available within a handful of libraries and are accessible by only a few people. As the Digital Scriptorium is an on-line endeavor, it promotes the reciprocal flow of information and knowledge from the scholars and researchers. The Digital Scriptorium serves quite a large section of the society which includes, medievalists, classicists, musicologists, paleographers, diplomatists and art historians. Digital Scriptorium tries to bridge the gap between the needs of the teachers, scholars and researchers, and the resources available in the libraries based on the means of legacy data and sample imaging.
