Citing DigiPal
The DigiPal Project as a whole should be cited without a specific author:
- DigiPal: Digital Resource and Database of Manuscripts, Palaeography and Diplomatic. London, 2011–14. Available at http://www.digipal.eu/
Blogs and News should give the individual author, title and year specific to that entry:
- S. Brookes, 'Anglo-Saxon MSS Online V: London, Wellcome Historical Medical Library', DigiPal: Digital Resource and Database of Manuscripts, Palaeography and Diplomatic (London, 2014). Available at <http://www.digipal.eu/blog/wellcome/>
For individual pages in the website, add the page title as it appears in the browser, in quotes.
- 'Folio: BL Additional 40000, 4r', DigiPal: Digital Resource and Database of Manuscripts, Palaeography and Diplomatic (London, 2011–14). Available at <http://www.digipal.eu/digipal/page/364/>
And for annotations:
- 'Wynn – Folio: BL Additional 40000, 4r', DigiPal: Digital Resource and Database of Manuscripts, Palaeography and Diplomatic (London, 2011–14). Available at <http://www.digipal.eu/digipal/page/364/?vectorid=OpenLayersFeatureVector5775> Or we use the vector ID:

For collections, cite the name of the collection, the person who compiled it (if available) and the site details. You will probably want to use a short URL, but be sure that the shortening service you are using will preserve your URL for the time that you will need it.
