The project has got to a stage where we need to have the advice of scholars familiar with the manuscripts in the library. To this end we have invited an international group of scholars and librarians to join the panel, which, so far as possible, will conduct its discussions on an internet forum. There are many things such a panel can help us with, but prime amongst them is the setting of priorities both for conservation and digitising. We wish to use our funding sensibly and in the ways which will best serve the not only the monastery but also the wider academic community.
