Abstract
Presented on the African Ajami Library (AAL) project at the 4th Annual Princeton African Humanities Colloquium, Africa and Digital Humanities on November 17, 2020. The AAL is an almost ten year partnership with international partners and researchers, BU Anthropology Professor Fallou Ngom, the BU African Studies Center, and BU Libraries. This ongoing project’s main goal is to aggregate and make openly accessible to the world digitized manuscripts from all across Africa, which are written in African languages using modified Arabic script called Ajami.
