Abstract Much of the focus of digital collections has been and continues to be on rare and unique materials,
including monographs. A monograph may be made even rarer and more valuable by virtue of hand
written marginalia. Using technology to enhance scans of unique books and make previously
unreadable marginalia readable increases the value of a digital object to researchers. This article
describes a case study of enhancing the marginalia in a rare book by Copernicus.
