In May 2006 a long lost manuscript of the papers of Robert Hooke was returned to the archive of the Royal Society. Lisa Jardine played a significant role in the recovery of the folio, which she described as 'an absolute treasure trove of new information about the day to day activities of the early scientific establishment'.

Under the guidance of Robyn Adams the entire manuscript has been transcribed by Jenni Thomas and Anna Winterbottom. An edition of the images and transcriptions is available on the project page. The transcriptions have been encoded in XML using the CELL standard for manuscript transcription and the Transcriber's Workbench software developed by Mind Magic Ltd. The online interface was developed by Jan Broadway using PHP, MySQL and Javascript.
