Dar al-Hilal Project

Through an agreement concluded between the Manuscript Center and Dar al-Hilal, an impressive project is currently finalized to publish an exhaustive digital copy of the issues of al-Hilal magazine. al-Hilal first appeared before the dawn of the 20th century, in 1892 in particular. Still in print to the present day, it is by far the earliest Arabic magazine, whose pages have sincerely reflected the dynamic trends and orientations of Arab intellectual life. It has been also an undiscriminating gallery of the output of eminent creative minds. The issues of each decade are compiled on a CD and provided with search tools. They are expected to be available to the public soon.
