At the end of the nineteenth century, a genizah was discovered in the Ben Ezra Synagogue in Cairo, containing many pages of sacred literature as well as legal and other documents.
By the end of the 20th century, many scholars physically had to set foot in libraries around the world in order to browse the genizah.
[5] Today, the Geniza website, with over 400,000 digital images is the largest virtual collection of medieval Hebrew manuscripts in the world.
In 2017, the National Library of Israel (NLI) and the Friedberg Jewish Manuscript Society (FJMS) announced a joint venture in which projects previously affiliated with FJMS, including the FGP, would gradually be integrated into the NLI technological infrastructure.
The site also includes a computerized synopsis for the entire Talmud in a number of viewing options that allow the user to highlight changes.
