Did you know that some of our rare books have been digitized and can be downloaded from the library catalogue? The McGill Library digitization team maintains a blog, “The Dark Room” that highlights recent digitization projects.
One recent example is A collection of magical formulae with some Christian prayers, a manuscript that dates from the late 16th century. Read all about its digitization on the Dark Room blog or download a copy of the manuscript here.
If you’d like to see the original, visit us in Rare Books and Special Collections during our opening hours, Monday-Friday 10am-6pm.
