• Name: FIHRIST
• URL: http://www.fihrist.org.uk/
• Is TEI Available? Yes -- TEI XML download of individual manuscript descriptions
• Description of Catalogue/Project: The FIHRIST catalogue provides a searchable interface to TEI XML manuscript descriptions from some of the major manuscript collections in the UK. With the continuing contribution of manuscript records from UK libraries, Fihrist aims to become a union catalogue for manuscripts in Arabic script. Partners include: Bodleian Library - University of Oxford, British Library, Cambridge University Library, The Islamic Manuscript Association, The Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, SOAS - University of London, University of Birmingham, The John Rylands University Library - University of Manchester, Wellcome Library. See http://www.fihrist.org.uk/about for more information.
• Notes on use of TEI: The FIHRIST Schema was a customisation for Islamic manuscripts based on the ENRICH TEI ODD customisation for western manuscript description created for the ENRICH project.

• Name: Guide to Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts in the Huntington Library (2003)
• URL: http://bancroft.berkeley.edu/digitalscriptorium/huntington/toc.html
• Is TEI Available? No
• Description of Catalogue/Project: This static web segment translates the two-volume printed Guide to TEI-XML and thence to HTML. There is a simple search facility; users are encouraged also to consult the indexes of authors, scribes, artists, places, dates, and titles, which have been converted from print and linked. Since the project doesn't say: it was led by Consuelo Dutschke, with encoding and best-practices contributions by Sharon Goetz and XSL rendering by Liz Shaw.
• Notes on use of TEI: HEHweb uses a customization of TEI P4 based upon MASTER and TEIMMSS drafts and discussions that were not yet final. Its use of <msDesc> and child elements follows the 1989 printed Huntington catalogue and is a recognizable early cousin of the P5 msDesc module.

• Name: Register of Early Modern Slovenian Manuscripts
• URL: http://ezb.ijs.si/nrss/
• Is TEI Available? Yes
• Description of Catalogue/Project: The web portal presents Slovenian manuscripts from the Baroque and Enlightenment periods. The on-line Register in open access comprises manuscript descriptions of the first 100 manuscripts, researched so far, and 7.000+ digital images. The system, based on Fedora Commons, enables browsing the manuscript descriptions and associated facsimiles, as well as complex searches over structured data, including taxonomies of text types and social contexts (monastic, diocesan, civil etc.) in which the manuscripts came into existence. Even as work in progress, the repository demonstrates the variety and longevity of manuscript culture in early modern period and its important role in Slovenian literature.
