why SART?

Simply put, there is a need.
The academics have been asleep. So we are filling a void.

And we seek to use the major tools.

2 Timothy 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power,
and of love, and of a sound mind.

1 Thessalonians 1:3
Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love,
and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ,
in the sight of God and our Father;


And we seek to help fulfill the purposes stated of the Codex Sinaiticus Project.

Currently there is no answer to all these questions. It is hoped that future scientific analysis may help us to understand more fully the many issues related to Codex Sinaiticus

Created originally as a spreadsheet to aid search and analyse the information more easily, the information has since been transposed onto each digitised leaf on the website for future researchers to interrogate and interpret.

Gavin Moorhead, who was one of the conservators who worked on the project. He mentioned that initially there were plans to do a detailed study of the colour variance between parchment leaves, but for reasons of time and finances this was not followed through on, and instead the information was put up on the Sinaiticus website in the hope that researchers might be able to make some use of it. - Cillian O'Hogan, British Library, 3/13/2014 email
Plus all the "exceptionals" (see White Parchment).
