The libraries of Nafusa: Documentation and digitization of the written material heritage in the Jebel Nafusa in Libya

In collaboration with the Centre for Studies and Research on Ibadism (Ibadica), Slimane Tounsi, President of Ibadica, Ali Mazawi, Coordinator of “The Libraries of Nafusa” project in Libya, and Paul Love, Professor of History and Academic Coordinator of “The Libraries of Nafusa" project, will offer a description of the planning, implementation, and future aims of the pilot project "The Libraries of Nafusa" (2021–2022), which sought to document and to digitize written material heritage in the Jebel Nafusa in Libya.

The team members, with different roles in the project, will offer reflections on the challenges of organizing this effort to document written heritage across international borders and languages—all in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The speakers will share the vision of the project, their methodology in building a team and offering training, and what they see as the main outcomes of these efforts.
