Finally, the time has come! On 28 June 2022, "Qalamos", the new portal for manuscripts and block prints from Arabic, Persian, Ottoman-Turkish and other script and language traditions, will be launched. Already, more than 125,000 manuscripts as well as more than 7,000 personal and about 1,000 work records are searchable in "Qalamos". From 28 June 2022, the portal will then be fully usable at www.qalamos.net.
