The Islamic Manuscripts Association (TIMA) is an international not for profit organization based in the U.K. "dedicated to protecting Islamic manuscript collections and supporting those who work with them." As such, TIMA provides a wide variety of online resources about manuscripts and their preservation, and most importantly offers yearly a workshop on codicology.
