Developed to bring our “treasures” to life on the Internet, Turning the Pages has quickly become one of the British Library’s most popular online resources. Based on groundbreaking 3-D technology, it has allowed us to build online replicas of unique and priceless manuscripots such as the Sherborne Missal, Lindisfarne Gospels and Leonardo da Vinci’s Notebook. With Turning the Pages 2.0, you can now license the software to make your most celebrated books accessible through the web.
