I'VE PICKED ON THE UAE GOVERNMENT quite a bit, so it's only fair that I praise them for something good they're doing:
Ancient scrolls being digitised in UAE

Monday, 14 February , 2005, 18:18 (Sify News)

Dubai: More than 100,000 ancient Indian manuscripts and 15 million historic documents in Urdu, Persian and Arabic and 5 million English manuscripts are being digitised by the Juma Al Majid Centre for Culture and Heritage in Dubai.

[...]

Well done. This is an important cultural heritage preservation project in general and, as always, there's no telling what odd bits of biblical pseudepigrapha might be in some of those manuscripts.
