| Summary: | FAMOUS (Finding Archives and Manuscripts Across Oxford’s Unique Special Collections) is a project undertaken by a team from BDLSS and Special Collections, funded by the Mellon Foundation. It aims to transform the Bodleian Libraries’ systems for discovery, management, and publication of content related to Oxford’s special collections. The project will dramatically improve access to and use of special collections content by users in Oxford and worldwide. The primary outputs of the project will be: A new user interface (named MARCO: Manuscripts and Archives at Oxford) enabling users to search across manuscript and archival holdings at Oxford in a way not previously possible; Improved, integrated technical systems within the library; New online catalogue descriptions from Bodleian special collections through the FAMOUS Exemplar Projects (Oriental Manuscripts, Early Modern Manuscripts and Archives, and Western Medieval Manuscripts).
