Four main fields of action

The CCL's mission is to restore manuscripts, old books and graphic material. Specializing in the treatment of parchment, paper, leather and wood restorers CCL master the traditional techniques as well as the most modern techniques.

Each book restoration is the subject of the production of detailed documentation in order to keep the testimony of the processing done during the restoration: date and place of treatment, photos and descriptions before and after restoration, list of materials used, etc. .

Conservation and restoration of rare and ancient

documents

CCL offers training in France and abroad. The association is an international

center for meetings and exchanges between librarians, archivists, museum

curators and conservators.

Professionals and recent graduates wishing to develop and adapt to the

emergence of new professions and skills could attend specialized training

EXPERTISE

Access to collections and documents is an essential element in the enhancement of heritage. Indeed, it is not possible to preserve document without allowing citizens to access them.

Digitization and digital library management

Digitization and digital library management

In 2010, the CCL launched its collective and patrimonial digital library: e-corpus www.e-corpus.org

E-corpus indicates, identifies, disseminates and provides access to tens of thousands of objects and documents belonging mainly to the writing and linguistic heritage (manuscripts, archives, books, newspapers), as well as iconographical heritage and other cultural objects (photographs, prints, sound recordings, videos, artwork).

International actions of cooperation

The CCL manages several international cooperation projects in the

fields of preventive conservation, heritage enhancement, management of natural disasters, digitization of collections, trafficking in cultural objects and language preservation (Manumed, Studite, Chindeu, Eurindia, Aristhot ...) in the context of close relationships with various international organizations such as the Library of Alexandria (Egypt), the Aga Khan Museum (Switzerland) or the Sakip Sabanci Museum (Turkey).

CCL publishes or coordinates books on conservation, preservation and restoration, catalogues of manuscripts, surveys of collections and Art books on written heritage.

The CCL is also director of a collection called “Kitab Tabulae”. This collection is specialized in the domains of books, archives and libraries in particular in the Mediterranean space but also all over the world.

Projects and ICT tools developed by the CCL

A digital library: e-corpus

e-corpus is a collective digital library that catalogs and disseminates numerous documents: manuscripts, archives, books, journals, prints, audio recordings, video, etc.

This diverse platform presents cultural diversity worldwide and specifically in the Euro-Mediterranean region. e-corpus proposes a variety of themes and a large quantity of digital documents presented by numerous organizations and countries.

Based on cutting edge technologies, e-corpus offers a simple and direct public access to a rich collection of resources.

Principal figures : 2 000 000 document corresponding to approximately 100 000 notices will be

available in e-corpus by the end of 2011 180 000 visits since the creation of the platform. 357 952 researches made by the Internet users 39 virtual collections and 25 available dedicated sites An average of 490 visitors per day in 2011

A digital library: e-corpus

Today, e-corpus includes more than 250 institutions from 26 countries contributors.

This platform allows to move to a collaborative form of publication in which any collection can be enhanced by a dedicated website with a web address different from the database e-corpus.

This may include: • Thematic sites, involving several institutions and several collections around the same subject, as the digital library on the history of photographic techniques: Camera Obscura (www.camera-obscura.org) • Sites of organizations (e.g. Libraries) convinced of the advantages of a local cooperation between institutions • Virtual Collections grouping documents of common interest around the same topic.

This game will appear under the shape of a succession of enigma to be resolved in which the player will be the hero of the story. The player can investigate the mysterious universe of libraries and manuscripts. While he will discover new intrigues and new indications, he will have to make everything to discover an old secret of some century.

Stakes Raise awareness of young people about the

written heritage through these two phases. Propose the game as an educational tool

and not as a simple entertainment, the stake being to remain playful!

A video game

The game will take the shape of a succession of enigma which the player will have to resolve one by one.

The resolution of the enigma must be made by means of teaching aid, educational tools and watch to increase awareness of the target public about the heritage.
