The manuscripts housed in public repositories and private collections are in dire need of conservation due to a lack of resources and awareness. This concern was highlighted at an awareness workshop by the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH), Kashmir Chapter. M. Salim Beg, the event organizer, emphasized the vulnerability of these manuscripts, which serve as crucial links to Kashmir's rich history, written in languages like Sanskrit, Persian, and Kashmiri. Despite their significance, many manuscripts suffer from neglect and damage, prompting efforts by INTACH to provide conservation services and training programs. Legal provisions exist, but more awareness and action are needed to protect this invaluable cultural heritage.
