The National Library of Israel is excited to invite applications to the upcoming workshop:

“Islamic Codicology and Paleography: Between the Material and the Digital.”

Intended for MA and PhD students, as well as faculty, the workshop will include both lectures by internationally renowned experts and hands-on trainings with items from the Library’s rich collection of more than 2,500 Arabic, Persian, and Turkish manuscripts. The workshop is one of a series of events marking one hundred years since the founding of the Library’s Islam and Middle East Collection.

The Library and Wikimedia Israel are joining together to introduce you to the world of Wikipedia editing. During the meetings you will learn about the idea behind Wikipedia, as well as, in a nutshell, how you can contribute to the biggest database in the world. At the end of each meeting you will be able to gain some experience with actual editing, and to leave your mark on one of the most influential cooperative projects ever.
