Last month the EAP received material from four projects:

EAP180 Preservation through digitisation of endangered Armenian rare books and making them accessible on the Web (phase 1) continues to submit material. We have written about this project in recent blog posts.

We also received further material from project EAP250 Preserving East Timor's endangered archives (stage two), which built on the work of the EAP032 project and digitised the remaining records of the Timor-Leste (East Timor) Truth and Reconciliation Commission. This follow-up project focused on the records of Witness Statement Teams and related research interviews.

The project EAP334 Digital preservation of Wolof Ajami Manuscripts of Senegal is in the process of digitising Ajami manuscripts written by members of the Muridiyya Sufi order founded in Senegal in 1883 by Ahmadu Bamba (c 1853-1927). The collection is extremely varied, consisting of satirical, polemical and protest poetry, as well as biographies, eulogies, genealogies, talismanic resources, therapeutic medical manuals, speeches and instructional codes of conduct.

Project EAP340 Photographic preservation of the manuscript collection in the monastic church of Ewostatewos at Dabra Sarabi (Tigray, Ethiopia) digitised a small selection of manuscripts at Dabra Sarabi (Tigray), the maternal monastery of the 14th-15th century dissident Ethiopian monastic group, the Ewostateans. The collection features texts relating to the history of the Ewostatean monastic community and its founder; the history of Ethiopia; Eastern Orthodox and Ethiopian Christian literary texts, liturgical texts and illustrated manuscripts.
