The Wren Digital Library provides access to digitised collections from the Library of Trinity College, Cambridge. The founding purpose was to digitise the College’s collection of Western medieval manuscripts catalogued by M. R. James in 1901-3. There are currently over 850 of these manuscripts accessible online. Please note that, following the upgrade of the College catalogue, the bibliography links are currently broken. This will be rectified as soon as possible. The Digital Library is also gradually expanding to include modern manuscripts and a selection of printed books.

Highlights of the collection now available online include:

• The Eadwine Psalter from Christ Church, Canterbury
• The Trinity Apocalypse
• The Romance of Alexander
• A 14th-century manuscript of Piers Plowman
• The Milton manuscript
• The notebook of Isaac Newton
• Isaac Newton’s own copy of Principia Mathematica

And from the recently acquired Crewe Collection:

• Aeronautica, a volume of cuttings and illustrations
• Athena, an Owlet from the Parthenon, written for Florence Nightingale
• Kaladlit Assilialiait, woodcuts drawn and engraved by Greenlanders
• La nature et diversité des poissons, a handcoloured book by Pierre Belon printed in 1555
• The Execution of Courvoisier, a volume of cuttings and ephemera
• The Rossiad, by Lord Alfred Douglas (1916)
• Wilton Garden, engravings by Isaac de Caus
