This summer course, organised by the Bibliothèque patrimoniale d'Avranches in partnership with the Centre Michel de Boüard – CRAHAM, the MRSH – Université de Caen and the Equipex Biblissima, was held in Avranches from Monday 29th August to Friday 2nd September 2016.
The main objective of this course, which has been organised as part of the partner project on the Virtual Library of Mont Saint-Michel, was to provide an introduction to digital tools for editing and cataloguing early primary source documents, taking the example of the manuscripts and early printed books that were once a part of the library of Mont Saint-Michel and that are now held in Avranches. The course alternated between lectures, practical workshops and case studies.
The course was held at the Bibliothèque patrimoniale d’Avranches and also included lecture tours of the Scriptorial and the Mont Saint-Michel.
