Coptic Orthodox Papal Manuscript Library

Digitization is a critical component of COPML’s long-term preservation and access strategy. High-quality digital preservation allows manuscripts to be studied and appreciated while significantly reducing the need for physical handling.

COPML is committed to expanding responsible access to its collection for scholars, students, clergy, and faith communities. Digitization protects fragile materials while making their content more widely available, ensuring that these texts continue to educate and inspire beyond the confines of physical storage.

Future digital initiatives aim to create structured, searchable digital collections that support academic research, educational programs, and community engagement, while maintaining appropriate safeguards for sensitive materials.
