[Harry Spier]

Dear Dominik,

1) I was able to access some manuscripst by accessing  from archive.org's
wayback machine from the catagories page but some/most  were not archived
by archive.org. Try this  link .
https://web.archive.org/web/20220306214603/http://ngmcp.fdm.uni-hamburg.de/mediawiki/index.php/Special:Categories

2)  At the bottom of the wiki main page it says :
. In order to help us improve the catalogue further, we heavily rely on
your help. Please get in touch with Iris Vogel (iris.vogel at uni-hamburg.de)
from the gwin-Project (FDM
<https://web.archive.org/web/20220318220846/http://www.fdm.uni-hamburg.de/gwin>)
and we promise to keep you up to date.

So perhaps Iris Vogel can help. But this page was last updated in 2018.
