Authors : Mecibah Ouarda .
Abstract
Manuscript patrimony represents a civilizational and cultural heritage that links previous, present and coming generations. Algeria is considered one of the rich countries in this cultural heritage, especially in the Eastern Sahara region, where there are several informal centers containing Zawaya and safes filled with many precious and rare manuscripts. In view of the material, scientific and historical value of the manuscript heritage in this region, the Algerian state redoubled its efforts to protect and value it by establishing a national center for manuscripts in the province of Adrar. This initiative has received great acclaim in the region, especially in light of the technological developments that necessitate special care for this written heritage to protect it from disappearance and vanishment via digitizing it and converting it from a scientific material sitting on the shelves of safes into a scientific material available to the audience. Hence came this study, which aims to shed light on the experience of the National Center for Manuscripts in Adrar in digitizing the manuscript heritage that this institution comprises, with a focus on the adopted methods of digitization, as well as the digital preservation tools used, touching on the obstacles and difficulties that prevent manuscripts from being made available on the center's website.
