MOEBHIOS Research Project envisages collaboration and consultation with local Palestinian heritage archives, looking for opportunities to connect existing historical documentation material with a survey of architectural sites in the area and their state of preservation.
In April 2023, Dr. Raffaella De Marco visited MITHAQ - The Centre for Heritage Revival and Islamic Research in Abu Dis. The centre represents an important nucleus of studies towards Palestinian heritage, and collects numerous documentation contents, original drawings, and memories of the local heritage, before 1948 and after the transformations in the area.
Dr. De Marco was supported by the centre's team in consulting the archive material and was shown the information cataloguing systems currently in place at the centre. The rich collection of material and the experiences of MITHAQ for scientific research on the Palestinian territory are considered key connections in future opportunities for educational and scientific collaboration with Al-Quds University and the University of Pavia.
