In 2025, two more manuscripts were made available online from the collections of the Town Museum and Gallery Polička. Under the shelf number K 127 is a copy of the work Zdravá rada lékařská, authored by Jan Tonsoris. The text has been printed repeatedly since 1771 and this copy is probably an adaptation of one of the printed editions. Under the shelf number K 165 are the notes of Tomáš Sýkora, a tailor from Polička, which relate to the years 1666-1794, but the vast majority of them inform about the events of the 18th century.

Four manuscripts of the Royal Canonry of Premonstratensians at Strahov have been digitised. The earliest of them is a collection of the works of St John Cassian, written in the monastery of Hradisko near Olomouc in the 1130s–40s (DA III 25). The collection DA IV 42 comes from the library of the monastery in Weissenau. The Bible DA IV 22 was made in the Czech lands. Salzburg seems to be the place of origin of the catalogue of the local bishops and archbishops (DA II 28) created after 1615, which is complemented by their coats of arms.
