*Safeguarding Islamic Books and Manuscripts: An Introduction to Cultural
Heritage and Property Law *
3–5 April 2016, Hamad Bin Khalifa University, Doha, Qatar
Dear Colleagues,
The Islamic Manuscript Association, in partnership with Qatar National
Library and the Thesaurus Islamicus Foundation, is pleased to announce an
intensive three-day course entitled *Safeguarding Islamic Books and
Manuscripts: An Introduction to Cultural Heritage and Property Law*, to be
held at the Hamad Bin Khalifa University Student Center in Education City,
Doha, Qatar from 3 to 5 April 2016.
This short course will survey legal issues related to the safeguarding of
written and documentary heritage and the daily care and management of
collections of Islamic books and manuscripts. It will explore the legal
protections that should be offered to objects at risk from conflict within
and between countries and explain the fundamental and sometimes complex
legal and juridical questions affecting the acquisition and deacquisition,
digitization, reproduction, and publication of books, manuscripts, and
archival documents.
The cost of the course is 215 GBP for Association members and 240 GBP for
non-members. Two scholarships are available for Arab researchers and
heritage professionals living in the Arab World.
