Agreement Signed and Collaboration
with the Daoud Library of Morocco Launched
The Printed Materials Group entered an agreement with the Daoud Library in Tetouan, Morocco to launch a collaborative project.
The Daoud Library was formerly the private library of the late Muhammad Daoud (1901-1984), one of Tetouan's greatest 20th century scholars. It was organized and opened to the public by his daughter, Hasna. It contains a wide range of publications and documents including 8,000 publications in Arabic and Western languages, 300 hand-copied works in Arabic, 2,000 private contracts and public documents, 10,000 photographs, and 2,000 newspapers and magazines.
However, the current Library, which was previously a residence, is not necessarily the ideal location for the collection, due to factors such as financial challenges. The first imperative is to digitalize the historical documents in their current state. The two-year project will focus mainly on this digitalization process of the documents the late scholar collected so passionately from the old families of Tetouan in order to document its history.
The Agreement is available in PDF format through the following links.

Though extremely precious as historical documents, some documents had been left forgotten in clear plastic folders due to the lack of facilities and equipment for proper storage. |
