URL spreadsheet: manuscripts-urls-wbm-archived.xlsx

The master spreadsheet manuscripts-urls-wbm-archived.xlsx contains all URLs from manuscripts.kb.nl (Medieval Illuminated Manuscripts / Middeleeuwse Verluchte Handschriften) that were archived to the Wayback Machine in December 2025, before the site’s shutdown on 15 December 2025.

A second file, manuscripts-urls-spider-output.xlsx, contains the full spider crawl output (12,550 URLs) but has no archiving data. It is kept as a reference for the complete URL inventory.
