The International Collection of Digitized Hebrew Manuscripts [האוסף הבינלאומי של כתבי יד עבריים דיגיטליים or "Ktiv"] is a collection hosted at the National Library of Israel (NLI) that holds either originals, images, or micro-films of nearly 85-95% of the world's known Hebrew manuscripts. Their vision is to allow readers across the globe to access this corpus from their own computers via digital images of the manuscripts. With more than 1.2 million digitized images of nearly 95,000 manuscripts, this collection includes a search engine enabling manuscript searches according to their physical attributes, content, historical and artistic context as well as a document viewer that presents the entire layout of the manuscript and single pages, enabling manipulation of high resolution images and supplying links to the catalog record and to other related items or texts.
