The library of the Premonstratensian Canonry in Nová Říše provided access to another five manuscripts in 2024. Three of them are medieval – two of those come from the Czech lands and the latter one (shelf mark NŘ 14) contains various exegeses, probably by the Hussite preacher Václav of Dráchov; the third medieval codex is a collection of prayers and meditative texts written in the Archdiocese of Cologne (NŘ 69). The modern manuscripts comprise a coloured armorial (NR 88) and the treatise Tristes annuae desertorum Societatis Jesu by the Jesuit János Nádasi (NR 55).
The digitisation of manuscripts from the Military Historical Institute in Prague continued in 2024 with another 28 volumes, which mostly date from the 19th century and were written mainly in the Habsburg Monarchy. The most extensive part consists of the lists and overviews of the deployment of Austrian military units (e.g. shelf marks IIR A 490/1–2 and IIR B 7184/1–2), the treatment of the history of some of them (e.g. IIR C 3482, IIR D 810, IIR F 471, IIR F 532 and IIR F 573) and the lists of their officers (e.g. IIR B 1434 and IIR F 849). The manuscripts also comprise military-training manuals, ceremonial speeches and daily reports.
In 2024, the Regional Museum in Olomouc digitised a manuscript missal of the Olomouc diocese from the last third of the 15th century (shelf mark K-24059). The codex has simply decorated initials. The Canon of the Mass is preceded by a pasted broadside containing a coloured woodcut, probably from southern Germany from after the middle of the 15th century.
