What are your approaches to finding manuscripts online

Hi everyone ,
This is a general research or strategy question. I love it when someone posts something visual up here that is a new match to a feature of voynich. I’ve  done a lot of searches on the ninja forum  to see what’s been done. I’m assuming a lot of the researchers have been combing over a lot of manuscripts quite a bit, especially when looking for things like marginalia or letters or zodiac signs etc. I’m assuming that anything posted here has been pretty much looked over carefully. So as I venture into the websites of archives, I find it  hard to figure out what manuscripts have been completely picked over and noticed for novelty and which ones haven’t been looked at yet. More importantly, I can’t figure out how to discover when  a manuscript is freshly updated or freshly posted on one of the many different sites that are hosting it or whether it’s been there for a long time. I’m not necessarily asking you to tell me every single manuscript that’s been combed over on this forum. I’m asking “Is there a way to quickly search all the various online sources and quickly identify the range of dates they were updated or uploaded so you can just start with the Newest ones first. “ and “Are there particular websites that anyone here favors as being really great with new update updates. “ “also are there collections online that we just know haven’t been looked at yet because they just dropped?”
And also- this being entirely subjective, do all of you major researchers descend upon new updates within a few months or are there enough manuscripts being added to the web if not at a steady rate then by key large uploads at certain points?”.  

Anyone have an awesome system for doing this? Personal preferences? 
Also- I’m  most interested in herbal texts  specifically - but this applies to all types. 

Ps I really hope this is not extremely obvious I have -tried- to look at many manuscripts already and with the variation of viewers still struggle to see a quick way of finding when it was uploaded. 
 PSs: I have watched all Voynich Talk video, and the conferences and days. I searched and attempted to learn from the Voynich as well. So I have a bit of general background knowledge of what texts have been looked at to compare. 
?? Thank you for any advice or tips given
