 ====== Manuscripts Expert Group ======
-The aim of the Manuscripts Expert Group is to arrange a conference every second year. The 8th conference of the Manuscript Expert Group will take place  in Vienna in 2018. Chairman of the group is Scot McKendrick (British Library), and secretary is Bente Granrud (National Library of Norway).
+===== History =====
+In September 2000, manuscript librarians from across Europe met in Stockholm at a conference to discuss recent developments in the field and to exchange information. Participating colleagues agreed to form an Expert Group of Manuscript Librarians under the auspices of LIBER (Collection Development Division). In July 2001 LIBER’s General Conference in London formally approved the Expert Group. Since 2014 the Group has been a part of The Consortium of European Research Libraries (CERL).
-National Backgrounds
+===== Aims ======
-Information on country concise information about the major manuscripts and archives collections, about the institutions where the collections are kept (website links, historical data, etc.) is available [[https://www.cerl.org/collaboration/manuscriptexperts/explore|here]].
+The Manuscript Librarians Working Group recognises the unique significance of manuscript and archive collections, not only for the world of research and learning, but also for a wider audience of people interested in history and cultural heritage. The primary aims of the Working Group are to act as a forum for curatorial concerns, and to enhance understanding and practical cooperation among curators across Europe, taking account of the differences in approach which have occurred historically.
+===== Meetings of the Manuscript Librarians Working Group =====
+The National Contact persons and the Board have one day meetings associated with the conferences organised by the Working Group. On the agenda are updates on the National Backgrounds, as well as discussions on best practice and new developments of interest, for example ISMI: International Standard. Manuscript Identifier.
+===== Conferences =====
+The Manuscript Librarians Working Group aim to arrange a conference every second year. The conferences are open to everyone interested in the topics, and aim to be a place for networking and exchange of information for all working with manuscripts or special collections in libraries or other institutions.
