The challenge of maintaining a physical #library!
#Hungary's oldest library is fighting to save 100,000 #books from a beetle infestation https://www.nbcnews.com/world/hungary/hungary-pannonhalma-archabbey-beetle-infestation-rcna218539
y'all I have a problem
the British Library has a blog which features some excerpts from interesting manuscripts in their possession: https://blogs.bl.uk/asian-and-african/2020/08/magic-and-divination.html
under the excerpted images are links to the British Library's own website, to see the full manuscript, but they are 4-0-fucking-4. example: https://www.bl.uk/manuscripts/FullDisplay.aspx?ref=Or_12859
I tried to find where they are now and had no luck. does anyone know how to relocate these manuscripts?
