Welcome!

أهلاً بكم في موقع فهرسة المخطوطات الاسلامية بجامعة ميشيغان

This site is part of an ongoing project to fully catalogue the Islamic Manuscripts Collection at the University Of Michigan, Ann Arbor. A substantial portion of our collection lacks full cataloguing. A limited amount of descriptive information has been gathered for these manuscripts, mainly via inventory cataloguing in the early part of the last century. Project staff have  entered this inventory cataloguing data with limited enhancement as preliminary records in our library catalogue Mirlyn. In addition, the manuscripts are being digitized with their digital versions appearing in the HathiTrust Digital Library (HTDL).

For manuscripts currently being catalogued, this site displays the limited descriptive information available for each manuscript, accompanied by two images linking you to the digitized version of that manuscript in the HathiTrust Digital Library.

We invite you to examine the digitized manuscripts and compare the results of your analysis against the existing descriptive information. Much of this descriptive information has not yet been verified or fully enhanced, and we invite you to join us in that work. Where you see any omissions or inaccuracies, please use our site's comment features to supply enhancements or corrections for the manuscript descriptions. See Getting Started for more details. Your contribution will be recognized both on the site and in the record for the manuscript that appears in our library catalogue. See our Progress page for the latest manuscripts catalogued via the site, along with contributors to the cataloguing.

Thanks in advance for your valuable contribution to this project!
