the Importance of guru granth sahib ji to sikhs is without parallel. It is not a Holy Book or scripture in the common understanding of religions.

The Sikh Education Council first met with the team from the British Library in 2002. It quicky became apparent that a number of manuscripts were quite literally falling apart at the seams and needed urgent restoration if they were to be saved. The SEC has funded the restoration project ever since.
