The project involves the cataloging and digitization of manuscripts from the Mamma Haidara and Ahmed Baba collections. It identifies specific regional calligraphic scripts used in the ink inscriptions, including Sudani, Sahrawi, and Suqi (p. 182). These scripts represent the diverse intellectual and aesthetic history of West African scholarship from the 15th century through the 19th century (p. 181).
