To preserve and showcase Pakistan’s precious literary heritage, the Academy started acquiring manuscripts and rare books in the year 2024. These manuscripts depict centuries old rich literary and calligraphic tradition in various languages of Pakistan. When the collection of the manuscripts started, some towering literary personalities generously donated their priceless collections to the Academy. Researcher and critic Prof. Dr. Moinuddin Aqeel donated a part of his collection and Dr. Umer Farooq donated the collection of his late father, poet and scholar Hakim Sharif Ahsan, to the Academy. The Academy is also digitizing these manuscripts and desires to provide them online.
