About
This library session will give students an opportunity to work with Islamic manuscript materials and contribute to making these collection materials more accessible through the practice of transcription. By transcribing these primary sources, students will be helping the library increase accessibility to historical records so that all of us can more easily read, search for, and use the information they contain.
