Now all we need is for them to put the complete Ilardi microfilm online; preferably with original images.(I can dream can't I?) -

With only 13 items available, it looks like they are still in the process of digitizing everything and may be for some time. I hope more of the documents will be digitized and available soon.
I only wish the Beinecke also owned the Friedmans' papers. Seems like someone is always looking for something from those that isn't yet available anywhere online. -

If this is a new on-going digitisation, then that would be great news.
Some items were already online.
I'll certainly keep an eye on this. -

Yes, this is part of a university-wide collections effort that involves libraries, the art galleries, and preservation (and perhaps others) - it's a huge project and is under continued development. -

Many thanks to Claire and Lisa!
At the end of Lisa's collection there are a number of newspaper clips, several of them are about Newbold. It seems that solving the cipher in only a few hours has been the norm since the very beginning.
This is from the article with the brazen head illustration.
EDIT: great to see images of the Lunaria Envelope - Koen and myself saw it mentioned several times in Ethel's notebooks. -

Perhaps I had not looked closely enough early on, but it really appears as if a lot of new material has been added to the Lux archive in the meantime.
For those who want to see Voynich's handwriting, and his efforts to understand his own manuscript, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. will be of interest. Browsing through it, it will be hard to imagine that these are the notes from someone who had just created the manuscript himself, as a fake.
Fortunately, the interest of the material goes far beyond that.
There is still a huge amount of material that is not yet included, and I hope that this project will continue. -

Never trust a man who, when presented with a sheet of lined notepaper, writes across the lines. A sure sign of a person whose first instinct is to break the rules! -

oh yes, there's a fairly major digitisation initiative and the Lux platform is here to stay. They are continually releasing new things (you can filter by recency, which is helpful for figuring out what's been added since the last visit. They will also accept digitisation requests but the queue is currently about 6 months long
