The Wellcome Library, Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and King’s College London, have formed a partnership to create a free searchable online catalogue of 500 Islamic manuscripts in the Wellcome Library.
The website will be hosted by the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and digitised content will also be available via the Wellcome Library catalogue, pending inclusion of the complete catalogue on the Wellcome site when circumstances permit.
The project is partly funded by a grant from the JISC’s Islamic Studies Programme.
