About Al-Mufahris
The project's goal, the importance of easing access to manuscript sources, and how to reach us.
Al-Mufahris is an in-Telegram search engine that brings more than 2 million bibliographic records of Islamic manuscripts together in one place, with 57 fields for every copy.
The project’s goal is to ease researchers’ and editors’ access to the descriptions and whereabouts of manuscript copies, and to save the time otherwise lost leafing through scattered catalogues.
Data is gathered from library catalogues and printed and digital sources, then normalised and cleaned — while respecting the rights of the original sources and citing them.
