Grant Description

The Ahmed Baba Institute's collection of more than 40,000 ancient and historic Arabic manuscripts are largely inaccessible due to limited or inaccurate cataloging data.

This project involves the reorganization and verification of the manuscripts and their metadata so that they are accessible to a wider audience.
