The Jamal Majid Centre for Culture and Heritage in Dubai recently welcomed a delegation from the Sharjah Institute for Heritage. The meeting provided an opportunity for both institutions to explore avenues for enhanced collaboration, particularly in the realm of electronic archiving of documents.
Exploring Electronic Archiving
During the visit, the delegation was introduced to the Majid electronic archiving system, which encompasses documents and images. The team learned about the operational mechanisms of this system and the extensive capabilities it offers for preserving, organising, and accessing various types of documentation.
Touring the Centre
The visit also included a tour of several key sections of the centre. One highlight was the “Path of Giving” exhibition, which showcased Jamal Majid’s significant contributions in collecting books and manuscripts. The delegation also gained insight into the various agreements that the centre has established with prominent cultural institutions and libraries around the globe. Their exploration continued in the reference hall, where they familiarised themselves with the services the centre provides to researchers. The tour culminated in a visit to the special libraries section, highlighting some of the rare and valuable collections housed within the centre.
Building Bridges of Collaboration
The Sharjah Institute for Heritage expressed its sincere gratitude to the Jamal Majid Centre for its hospitality, reiterating the importance of strengthening cooperation and exchanging expertise in areas of mutual interest.
