Description
Taken from the project website (Accessed 2025-02-27):
The Digitial Sigillography Resource (Digisig) enables scholars and members of the public to search sigillographic reference works (collections).
Scholars, archivists, archaeologists and museum curators have recorded tens of thousands of British seals. Those records are now indispensable information sources for scholars—but they are heterogenous in both form and content, and dispersed across many different reference works. To assist researchers to perform searches that span multiple repositories' holdings, the Digisig project assembles those records and standardizes their information.
Digisig fosters the study of seals, particularly from Medieval Europe, by enhancing access to this important cultural legacy.
