This book is for humanities students or scholars who are classically trained in handling manuscript materials and wish to take advantage of the incredible computing power at their fingertips but are at a loss where to begin. Some of the more technical parts of the book could be challenging, but a little persis-tence and practice, over time, should more than suffice.I also hope to reach those who are more skeptical; who would agree with Paul Eggert, a book historian of modern English literature, when he wrote: “Speaking as a humanities scholar who lacks programming skills and ongoing access to a funded computing laboratory, the assumed advantage of the elec-tronic environment is far less clear.”1 My response to this challenge is twofold. First, as colleagues around you introduce computer-supported solutions into their workflow, they will gain an edge over you. In fact, as digital methods gain wider currency, digitally restyling parts of our workflow will become the norm, and you may well be left behind if you decide not to do likewise. Second, and more importantly, I will argue that using computers for your erstwhile meth-odology and workflow requires some adaptions. This is chiefly because digital photos impose specific limitations: their resolutions might be very low, their colors might not be true to life, or they can only be accessed from the museum website. Knowing how to spot and judge these limitations will be most useful to work efficiently and accurately, and this requires a little bit of knowledge about what digital photos of manuscripts are.
