MINUSMA Support in the Preservation of Ancient Manuscripts
Caption Description
During the armed conflict that occurred between 2012 and 2013, Mali's cultural heritage was severely damaged. In Timbuktu, many valuable manuscripts were burned or stolen, forcing their owners, communities and local NGOs to exfiltrate them to the capital, Bamako, in the most precarious of conditions. Members of the NGO Sauvegarde et la Valorisation des Manuscrits pour la Défense de la Culture Islamique (SAVAMA-DCI) smuggled 377,491 manuscripts out, saving them from destruction and is now in the process of preserving them. The UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), through its Environment and Culture Unit and in coordination with Minister of Culture and UNESCO, has been collaborating with SAVAMA-DCI providing the NGO with logistic support.
An employee cleans a page of a manuscript with a brush. Cleaning all the pages of each manuscript is the third step of the preservation process.
