Manuscripts are the most important cultural heritage offering us different items of knowledge and different sciences in different fields.
At the beginning, these manuscripts are made of animal’s skins, and then by development, they have been made of plant’s fibers announcing the birth of what is called papers.
It is China that has the best opportunity in producing the first papers for writing in the world. Chinese have made up papers using a grenade way from the mulberry. Arabs, then, have transferred from China the production of grenade papers in 795. The first factory for producing paper is built in Baghdad. Similarly, Arabs have entered the use of cloth in producing papers instead of plants. They use writing on skins parchment which are made from animals, and albarshment.
Iraq, in all its institutions, religious places, and scientific schools in different fields, is the destination for all student sciences and researchers. What is more, the market science in Iraq is a best witness of these people who very much like to possess books, and manuscripts and keep them in the general and special libraries. On the other hand, manuscripts, in Iraq, are suffering from corrupting, stealing, and burning due to the miserable situations experienced by the country throughout past ages and due to the wars, poor storage, and lack of knowledge of the historical
value of these books. This affects, in a way or another on the state of manuscripts in the country.
After 2003 many institutions take care of manuscripts and documents in all their types and supply the necessaries that suit these scripts. One of these scripts is the renovating centre of manuscripts which belongs to Al- Abbass holy shrine/ Karbala/ Iraq. The main function of this centre is to renovate the scripts and save them by using modern scientific ways and to be subject to international conditions in order to keep the historical value of the scripts.
The research is divided into three demands:
-The first: An introductory to the manuscript renovating centre in all its departments and their jobs.
-The second: The security of the documents and manuscripts and the main process that the centre does in order to keep the manuscripts.
-The third: Mentioning the different stages of renovating manuscripts.
