Sharjah Libraries highlight digitizing heritage in Portugal
Sharjah Libraries showcased their pioneering experience in digitizing historic libraries during the international symposium "Digitizing Historic Libraries in the Age of Artificial Intelligence," hosted by the University of Coimbra in Portugal. The experience focused on building a digital knowledge system containing over 18 million informational materials, aimed at preserving rare sources and facilitating access for researchers and students. It was explained that the digitization process involves high-quality techniques, scientific descriptions, and a sustainable technological infrastructure, with recognition of the important roles played by experts and librarians in knowledge management. The session discussed the technical, ethical, and organizational challenges facing the digitization of ancient manuscripts, emphasizing that the project seeks to reduce direct handling of rare assets, while ensuring the protection of institutional rights and adherence to sustainability principles. The initiative also benefits from international cooperation in this field.
