Here's a repost from an earlier message on B-Greek, taken from our archives:

Here are two web sites dedicated to papyrology. The first is the
Duke papyrus archives; the second is associated with University
of Michigan:

http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/papyrus/texts/homepage.html
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jmucci/papyrology/

Brown University has a page on textual criticism which contains several
such images. You can see the table of contents here:

http://www.stg.brown.edu/projects/mss/

One of their exercises involves John 1:3 - should it read OUDE hEN, or OUDEN?
They show the images of this text in various manuscripts of different types:

Alexandrian text type:

http://www.stg.brown.edu/projects/mss/tc_pap66.html
http://www.stg.brown.edu/projects/mss/tc_pap75.html
http://www.stg.brown.edu/projects/mss/tc_codexv.html

Western text type:

http://www.stg.brown.edu/projects/mss/tc_codexs.html
http://www.stg.brown.edu/projects/mss/tc_codexb.html
http://www.stg.brown.edu/projects/mss/tc_codexw.html

Byzantine text type:

http://www.stg.brown.edu/projects/mss/tc_codexa.html
http://www.stg.brown.edu/projects/mss/tc_codex666.html

Here are the text critical questions they suggest you use:

Hope this helps!
