Abstract
Arabic manuscripts are not new phenomena in Nigeria, Africa and
the world over. Their importance to the educational development and
societal reconstruction along moral, ethics, spiritual, social, economic,
political and what have you, is yet to be known, due to the poor
understanding of where they can be found and access to them easily
obtained, and to know their intellectual content. It is in view of these
that this paper set to investigate the management of the Arabic
manuscript resources in the Northern History Research Scheme of
Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, from the perspectives of storage,
preservation and conservation. Some of the problems inhibiting the
proper storage preservation and conservation of these resources
were identified and the way forward towards Arabic and Ajami
manuscripts management in Nigeria was highlighted.
