Digitization & Preservation
15 years of expertise in preserving ancient knowledge through modern technology
Our Digitization Journey
For the past 15 years, we have been at the forefront of manuscript digitization, successfully digitizing over 3,000 manuscripts from our collection and collaborating institutions.
Our digitization laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art scanning equipment capable of capturing minute details while ensuring the physical safety of fragile manuscripts. We employ both contact and non-contact scanning methods depending on the condition of each manuscript.
The digital copies we create serve multiple purposes: they provide access to scholars worldwide, reduce the need to handle fragile originals, and create a secure backup in case of unforeseen disasters.
Our Digitization Process
A systematic five-step approach to manuscript preservation
Physical Assessment
Each manuscript undergoes careful examination to assess its condition, material, script, and preservation needs.
Conservation
Necessary conservation treatments are applied to stabilize and protect the manuscript before digitization.
High-Resolution Scanning
Manuscripts are digitized using specialized equipment that captures every detail without damaging the original.
Metadata Creation
Comprehensive cataloguing with detailed information about the manuscript, its content, and provenance.
Secure Digital Archival
Digital files are stored in multiple secure locations following international archival standards.
State-of-the-Art Equipment
High-Resolution Scanners
Professional-grade scanners capable of capturing up to 600 DPI for crystal-clear digital copies.
Multi-Spectral Imaging
Advanced imaging technology to reveal faded or damaged text invisible to the naked eye.
Climate-Controlled Lab
Maintaining optimal temperature and humidity for safe manuscript handling during digitization.
