Toward that end, CSNTM takes digital photographs of manuscripts at institutions, libraries, museums, monasteries, universities, and archives around the world.

CSNTM uses 50.6-megapixel Canon EOS 5DS cameras mounted on a customized Graz Traveller's Conservation Copy Stand for its standard digitization projects.

[1] In October 2005, the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts acquired a tenth or eleventh century minuscule of the Gospel of Luke on parchment.

The phenomenal library, founded by the Medici family and designed by none other than Michelangelo himself, holds over 2500 papyri, 11,000 total manuscripts, and 128,000 printed texts.

Over the course of a four-week expedition in July–August 2013, a six-person team from CSNTM digitized all the Greek biblical papyri at the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin, Ireland.

This was part of a combined project that virtually reunited P46, since it is housed in two separate locations (University of Michigan & Chester Beatty Library).

Beginning in 2015 and continuing into 2016, roughly forty-five people worked for months intermittently at the National Library digitizing their entire collection of Greek New Testament manuscripts.

In the process, 21 manuscripts unknown to the Institute for New Testament Textual Research (INTF) in Münster, Germany were digitized.
