JEDDAH: The King Fahd National Library has contributed to the restoration and photocopying of more than 12,000 manuscripts and tens of thousands of documents and materials dating back more than 900 years, then sterilizing them with ozone gas.
The move aims to preserve and restore the items from the damage they have suffered over time.
The restoration department “deals with the documents and manuscripts it receives from government agencies and individuals,” said its director, Abdullah Al-Ahmad.
“Each item goes through a complex process of six stages, beginning with sterilization, treatment, restoration, microfilm and digital photography, until the binding stage.”
