Mission Statement

Qirab™ is dedicated to supporting the preservation of manuscripts within the Islamic cultural sphere through knowledge sharing and open source technology. We publish Arabic translations of technical texts and standards as well as produce innovative hardware and software designs.

History

The Qirab™ Project was created by the Thesaurus Islamicus Foundation in 2021 as a complement to our other projects. It was envisoned as a platform enabling us to share experience gained from over 25 years of striving in the manuscript heritage preservation field.
