From 2 to 9 October, as part of the Malian-Franco-German manuscript awareness event “Paroles de sagesse” in Bamako, CSMC organized a series of very successful workshops on conservation, cataloguing and digitization (see the programme) with 50 specialists and participants from ten (including five African) countries. The workshops were funded by the Gerda Henkel Foundation, CSMC, Hill Museum & Manuscript Library, and The Islamic Manuscript Association. A report and photographs of the event give a detailed account of the workshops.
