SUMMARY:The Ancient Libraries of Morocco: From Preserving Manuscripts to Beacons of Knowledge
DESCRIPTION:On this study day\, held as part of the Qatar-Morocco Year of Culture celebrations\, we will provide an in-depth exploration of the historical development of ancient Moroccan libraries\, tracing their founding and evolution to their current state. These libraries have experienced periods of flourishing and openness to external influences\, which contributed to the development of scholars\, elites\, and societies. However\, they have also faced challenges\, crises\, and disasters that led to a loss of prestige and vitality\, often due to human actions.\nThrough three presentations\, we will delve into this heritage\, revisiting key historical stages and addressing important questions:\n\nHow did these libraries facilitate the transfer of knowledge and the circulation of texts within intellectual circles?\nIn what ways did they serve as bridges for communication between local society and scientific institutions abroad?\nWhat does the future hold for books and paper in an increasingly digital world\, and what is the fate of libraries and their patrons?\n\nSpeakers:\n\nDr. Al-Khayali Abdelmajid: Head of Human Resources\, Finance\, and Scientific Research at the Hassania Library in Rabat\nDr. Mustafa Al-Tubi: University Professor and Head of the Research Team on Moroccan Manuscript Heritage at Ibn Zohr University\, currently on a scientific mission at the Hassania Library\nAbdelfattah Boukchouf: Director of the Qaraouiyine Library in Fez\, Morocco\n\nModerator: Dr. Moez Dridi\, Senior Archivist at Qatar National Library\nDate: 13 November 2024 \nTime: 4:30 - 7:30 PM \nLanguage: Arabic\, with simultaneous interpretation provided in English \nTarget Audience: Public \nSeats are limited\, please click the button below to register.
