Abstract
In January 2011 I received a MEG in the amount of $20,000 to conserve and digitalize BYU’s ancient papyri, parchments, lamellae and Ostraca that are housed in the L. Tom Perry Special Collections Library. I am very pleased to report that this project was a success. During the course of the MEG my team and I were able to clean and conserve most of the papyri and parchment fragments, which were written in Greek, Coptic and Arabic, as well as take high resolution digital images of the pieces so that they can be studied outside of Special Collections.
