The Qatar National Library has stepped up its efforts through the Himaya project, launched in 2020 to combat the illicit trafficking of cultural property. The project trains staff from cultural institutions, customs authorities and law-enforcement agencies, while documenting collections and strengthening international cooperation. Monitoring manuscripts helped secure the withdrawal from a 2021 auction of a rare section of a 15th-century Qur’an. Eight other manuscripts believed to belong to the same collection were also identified. In September 2025, the Fourth Doha Conference brought together more than 100 participants from over 20 countries. The Library has digitized more than 17 million pages, and over 1,000 specialists have benefited from the programs of IFLA’s Regional Centre for Preservation and Conservation. The Library continues to use digital technologies, awareness-raising and training to protect documentary heritage.
