 New York University’s Afghanistan Digital Library will retrieve and restore materials published in Afghanistan that are now in clear danger of disappearing. The objective is to collect, catalogue, digitize and provide access to as many publications as possible in an effort to reconstruct an essential part of Afghanistan's cultural heritage. "Afghan scholars are enormously excited about The Afghanistan Digital Library as this is material that don't have access to currently," says Dr. Michael Stoller, the project manager of ADL and Director of Collection and Research Services at New York University. The project is currently in a pilot phase on DSpace.
