According to this note by Bruce Metzger in a book I have, it says that there are some 200,000 pages of Syriac/Aramaic manuscript texts, that can be looked at on microfilm at the Chicago Lutheran Theological Seminary. The manuscripts were collected by Arthur Voobus, after over 30 visits to Near Eastern Monasteries and museums in search of manuscript treasures.

For info on what they contain, google this: "The Professor Arthur Voobus Collection of Syriac Manuscripts on Film, and the Institute of Syriac Manuscript Studies" (Chicago 1982)

Not sure if this is of any interest to some who may want to take a look at what might be there.
