Can any member clarify the relationship of this initiative to the NMM (National Mission for Manuscripts) project.

 Is  this about digitizing manuscripts not already photographed by the NMM . I.e. an expansion of the NMM project or is this about making the already photographed NMM manuscripts online or accessable in other ways?

Thanks,

Harry Spier
