Through the generous support of The Polonsky Foundation, this project made 1.5 million digitized pages freely available. Portions of the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana (Vatican Library) and the Bodleian Libraries’ collections of Hebrew manuscripts, Greek manuscripts, and incunabula were selected for digitization by a team of scholars and curators from around the world. The selection process was informed by a balance of scholarly and practical concerns; conservation staff at the Bodleian and Vatican Libraries worked with curators to assess not only the significance of the content, but the physical condition of the items, prioritizing items that are robust enough to withstand being transported to the imaging studio and handled by the photographers. In order to preserve the integrity and completeness of the manuscript collections, the libraries also agreed to digitize whole collections where appropriate. While the Vatican and the Bodleian had been creating digital images from our collections for a number of years, this project provided an opportunity for both libraries to increase the scale of their digitization services. In both cases, this meant significant investments in the equipment, infrastructure and people that make digitization possible. Over the course of this project, both libraries also revealed information about their digitization techniques and methods.

The PR2 reference sequence database began as part of the BioMarks project from previous work in the Plankton Group of the Station Biologique of Roscoff. It aims to provide a reference database of carefully annotated 18S rRNA sequences using nine unique taxonomic fields (from domain to species). At present, it contains over 240,000 sequences. Although it focuses on protists, it also contains sequences from metazoa, fungi and plants as well a limited set of 16S sequences from plastids and bacteria. Several metadata fields are available for many sequences, including geo-localisation, whether it originates from a culture or a natural sample, and host type. The annotation of PR2 is performed by experts in each of the taxonomic groups.

PomBase is a model organism database that provides organization of and access to scientific data for the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. PomBase supports genomic sequence and features, genome-wide datasets and manual literature curation as well as providing structural and functional annotation and access to large-scale data sets.

The Hydra repository was a digital archive for the University of Hull. It was developed to hold, manage, preserve and provide access to the growing body of digital material generated through the research, teaching and administrative activities of the University.
