Abstract

The Hill Museum & Manuscript Library (HMML) is honored to serve the global community of members of the Syriac-tradition churches and scholars of Syriac through numerous digitization projects and the work of cataloguing and web-based presentation that makes them accessible. Recent events in the Middle East have demonstrated once again the precarious status of ancient Christian communities, and the corresponding vulnerability of their manuscript legacies. It is our hope that the resources we have developed may sustain this study for generations yet to come.
