Kaileh H.A Feasibility Study for the Digitalization of Arabic Manuscript Collections in Jerusalem // Manuscripta Orientalia. Vol. 5. No. 4. December 1999. P. 47—57.
The digitalization of documents is a new technology
that has recently come to be practiced in libraries. It is
an extremely important technique for increasing the value of
documents, which are part of the national heritage, and
manuscripts in particular, by improving access to them and
helping with their preservation. This report is a feasibility
study of the digitalization of a collection of manuscripts
in Jerusalem.
In the last few years, with the development of new
information technology and improvements in communications,
especially with the emergence of the Internet, digitalisation
has become a technique which seems to be capable to
solve many problems of conservation, dissemination of
information and its processing. Applied to documents, it can
help with their preservation, improving the possibilities of
access to them. This new technology offers the best means
of close study of manuscripts as well as a means to gain
ready access to them from distance. The studies carried out
by the author of the present article have established a huge
important potential of this technology exists to improve
preservation of the national heritage and manuscripts
in particular. Good examples of this are the projects of
the Bibliothèque Nationale de France and that of the
Vatican Library.
Manuscript collections in Jerusalem constitute a very
important cultural resource which deserves being preserved
as part of the universal cultural heritage and of the Palestinian
national heritage as well. The transmission of knowledge
is a strategic factor in social and cultural development.
For this reason, carrying out a study on the possibility of
preserving and safeguarding those manuscripts by using
digitalization technique can be viewed as a very important
task, since the new technology enables us to have a good
means to present the treasures of the national heritage to
everyone. It is of especially importance when there are
problems of access as is the case with Jerusalem which has
been closed to the residents of the West Bank and the Gaza
strip since 1993. At the same time, the political situation in
Palestine makes access to Palestine and its cities (in particular,
to Jerusalem) impossible for the majority of residents
in the neighbouring countries...
