In the Benedictine tradition of reverence for human thought and creativity, the Hill Museum & Manuscript Library preserves manuscripts, printed books and art at Saint John's University and undertakes photographic projects in regions throughout the world.

HMML is the home of the world's largest collection of manuscript images and of The Saint John's Bible, a handwritten, illuminated Bible in modern English.

HMML's collections reveal how various cultures express their religious, artistic, and intellectual experience.

HMML makes these resources available to students, researchers and visitors through advanced technology for imaging, cataloguing, and teaching.

"Preservation is a new creation."
