They bring people together, train them and fund them to locate such a heritage and make digital copy of it, collect it and keep it in the British library.

The fellows will develop a community crowdsourcing project to improve the discoverability of approximately 10,000 digitised West African manuscripts in Arabic script.

The manuscripts are made sure they are on Arabic title, that way it will be more accessible to the locals.

The Library’s Digital Research team will provide guidance to the Fellow on all aspects of setting up and overseeing the crowdsourcing elements of the project.
