Türkiye digitizes 300,000 ancient manuscripts, balancing access with physical preservation.

Türkiye is committed to preserving its ancient manuscripts for future generations. The Turkish Manuscripts Institution, led by Nil Baydar, manages around 300,000 manuscripts, with 98% digitized and online. While digitization aids access, physical preservation is crucial to protect tangible historical evidence. Many manuscripts highlight the historical importance of the Silk Road and cover various subjects from the Ottoman Empire period.
