Roshan Cultural Heritage Institute is delighted to announce its support of the British Library’s Persian manuscripts project. The Library has one of the most significant collections of Persian manuscripts in the world, in terms of both its size and importance. It consists of over 11,000 works and includes some of the most famous miniature paintings of the Persian school. The project involves creating catalogue records for manuscripts which are uncatalogued, standardizing the existing print records and creating digital files, as well as digitizing 50 of the most beautiful manuscripts. These records and manuscript pages will be available on the British Library’s website, allowing easy access to this remarkable collection to the widest audience.
