In a previous number of this journal, a note on the development of a computer-based Arabic manuscript finding aid described its application to a manuscript microfilming project in Boutilimit, Mauritania. The filming of that collection was then (at the time the note was written in the spring of 1989) in its second phase, and the work was concluded in December of that year. Thanks to the technology developed for the finding aid to that collection, the catalog was completed six months later, and it is now possible to do database searches on that material (and soon on other collections now being entered in the same format). This note comes as a description of the Boutilimit collection, the film of which is now available to researchers at the University of Illinois Archives, in the University Library.
