The subject headings in the original exibitions 'The Photography of manuscripts' were:
- Early facsimiles c.1700
- Early facsimiles late 17th century
- 18th century facsimiles
- Early 19th century facsimiles
- Modern foreign facsimiles
- Modern foreign facsimiles in colour
- Utrecht Psalter
- Domesday Book
- Codices Latini Antiquiores
- Charters
- Some facsimiles of the last decade
The virtual exhibition also shows images taken from facsimiles published after the original exhibition and up to 2007.
