Did you also know that in early November of 2019, The Aga Khan Library digitised its extensive special collections to offer a wide range of research materials on the history, politics, customs, and beliefs that have shaped the contemporary global Muslim community?
In 2019, the Aga Khan Library embarked on the development of the Digital Collections platform, a project intended to display, preserve and facilitate research in a selection of materials from its rare books collection. To date, the Aga Khan Library has been able to digitise and upload hundred of these valuable books.
