More than 40,000 pages of precious manuscripts documenting centuries of Timbuktu's history and culture have been digitized and made available to the public for the first time.
Today, it can feel like the sum of all human knowledge is only an internet search away. But until recently, some of the most important evidence of one of Africa's most vibrant medieval cities was absent from the web.
Located in the West African nation of Mali, the name Timbuktu has come to embody the idea of a distant place, but this city was once famed as a center of learning, religion and trade. Today it's still known for its imposing earthen mosques, and the hundreds of thousands of scholarly manuscripts held in public and private collections.Those manuscripts have had a turbulent past, threatened by Islamist rebels and irrevocable loss.
