Summary
This project will bring old Danish Bibles and hymnbooks into the digital age. It will turn the 31 Bible versions (1740-1948) and 12 hymnbooks (1740-1953) into an online database. This will help preserve a part of Denmark's religious history. The digital database will have images of the original pages, their written text, and special layers for detailed viewing.
