Princeton, NJ; New York, NY. The Getty Grant Program, a part of the J. Paul Getty Trust that funds a diverse range of projects, including research in the history of art and related fields, has recently awarded a $250,000 grant to Princeton University's Index of Christian Art to support the initial phase of a project to create an on-line, digitized, searchable catalog of the medieval manuscripts in the collection of The Pierpont Morgan Library, New York.

The Morgan Library has received a $1-million grant from the Homeland Foundation, Inc. for a project under way with Princeton University's Index of Christian Art to catalogue and digitize the Library's entire collection of medieval and Renaissance illuminated manuscripts. These manuscripts, which represent a thousand years of Western iconography, will be available for the first time in Internet-accessible databases.
