The Yemeni Manuscript Digitization Initiative (YMDI), a collaborative endeavor of research libraries and leading scholars of classical Islam, Middle Eastern history, and Arabic Literature, whose mission is to preserve and make accessible the Arabic manuscripts in the private libraries of Yemen, is making great progress under the leadership of Professor David Hollenberg (UO, Arabic Language and Literature). The first batch of manuscripts, which includes codices from libraries in Yemen, Berlin, and Princeton, is now accessible online at: http://pudl.princeton.edu/collections/pudl0079
