The municipal library in Arras is currently called Médiathèque de l'Abbaye Saint-Vaast; for the short titles in this Wiki, we retain the traditional name Bibliothèque Municipale or BM for short. Its medieval manuscripts are part of the fonds ancien.

According to ARCA, a very substantial part of the fonds ancien is digitized (as of November 2024, a search results in 997 hits, the largest number of which are medieval codices).

Note that the CCFr (searchable via Base patrimoniale) seems not to find the digitized medieval manuscripts; instead, there are a number of modern documents misdated to the Middle Ages. For example, a set of issues of the Cahiers d'action religieuse et sociale are dated to 1136.

There are 25 manuscripts in this Wiki which are held by Arras, BM; see Category:Manuscript in Arras, BM.
