- Timbuktu Manuscripts Project is a cultural project which aims to preserve around 700,000 scholarly manuscripts in the city of Timbuktu, Mali. Some of the manuscripts date back to the 13th century and are currently held in 24 private libraries in and around Timbuktu . It also aims to make access to public and private libraries around Timbuktu more widely available and easier for those in Malian society and to show that the conventional historical view of Africa as a purely "oral continent" is not correct. The project was begun in 2000 and is scheduled to end in 2007 .
