Yale Library's digitized Takamiya Collection has helped solve a long-standing puzzle about missing medieval manuscript fragments. The location of the missing leaves had remained a mystery for nearly a century, and researchers relied on clues from the newly digitized materials to track them down. Science and technology commentators are highlighting the project as an example of how digitizing historical collections can advance humanities research.
