In a period of four years (2016-2019), our research project aims to produce an innovative and user-friendly tool, that combines both image and textual recognition, and allows an integrated study of fragmented historical heritage collections. Next to a short demonstration of MONK, we use this paper to outline how handwriting and image recognition helps to enrich the value of illustrated handwritten collections by adding information now inaccessible and disconnected. By doing so it advances the state of the art in automated extraction, classification, and networking of knowledge from heterogeneous manuscript collections and archives.
