One of researchers' chief concerns is reaching a manuscript's images as soon as they learn it exists. Al-Mufahris now links more than 600,000 records to their files or links, and the number keeps growing; the update of 8 October 2026 connected about 40,000 more.
Three ways to get a file
- Instant delivery: the copy's file is sent to you in Telegram at once.
- Direct link: a button that takes you to the library or external site where it can be viewed and downloaded.
- “Available in our archive”: this button appears when the file is in our archive; request it in one tap and it is sent to you shortly after.
Good to know
- Some libraries have no image files yet; a record with no images at all has no file to offer.
- Telegram Desktop is recommended when working with files.
- If a file is wrong (for example it belongs to a different record), use the “Report an error” button on the record card.
- Getting files is part of the Researcher plan.
