JISC Helps to Bring Key Islamic Resources Online

"Two of the oldest known copies of the Qur’an will be available to researchers and scholars across the world today (8 July 2009) – as part of a major project to digitise one of the richest collections of Eastern manuscripts. The two Qur'ans, one of which may date from the 7th century A.D, are part of the priceless Mingana Collection, which is housed by the University of Birmingham."

This is actual site of the Virtual Manuscript Room where the Qur'ans are found online.
