Safeguarding the Manuscripts from Timbuktu

Since 2003 Azzagra Cultural Association has been working to preserve and protect
the important manuscript legacy of the city of Timbuktu, more than 280,000 Islamic
manuscripts.
The safety of these manuscripts was threatened when political and civil unrest
erupted in the North of Mali in March 2012. The Azzagra Cultural Association played
an active role in the rescue mission for the manuscript collections. This rescue
mission ensured that 95% of the manuscripts in these collections were successfully
rescued from the threat of extinction by the political conflict and civil unrest.
