Saudi women revive the memory of history at the Saudi Manuscripts Exhibition

Manuscript restoration

Saudi women stand out for their skills on a complex journey that begins with receiving manuscripts, through 12-hour ozone sterilization processes, and then meticulous cleaning using specialized tools such as brushes, scalpels and erasers to carefully remove impurities.
The process continues with manual numbering and photodocumentation, followed by rearranging the scattered parts, while choosing the appropriate ink to ensure perfect processing..

The stages of restoration reach their peak through treatment and drying, whether in a complete way using chemical solutions or partial using vapors, so that the story is completed by arranging the pages, cutting them, covering them, and sewing them, and the process is concluded with delivery and preservation, so that the manuscript documents an immortal legacy that spans generations..
The Saudi Manuscripts Exhibition is an interactive platform that highlights the Kingdom’s efforts to enhance its leadership position in the field of cultural heritage preservation.
It also provides a unique opportunity to exchange ideas between researchers and experts, while reviewing the latest restoration techniques that make every manuscript a story told with a futuristic vision..
