Our manuscript holdings are catalogued by country, city, owning library, and shelf mark. Please use these designations when you are making an inquiry, requesting a manuscript to view at HMML, or ordering a manuscript or printouts for purchase. Usually we cannot locate manuscripts by genre.

If you are using our online catalogue and have an inquiry, please include the source number from the record. The online catalogue helps find manuscripts by author, title, or incipit. This online catalogue currently contains over 90,000 inventory records in HMML's collection. As a work in progress, there are errata and potentially inaccurate entries. HMML welcomes corrections from users.
