From legacy to institution Abdelaziz Khallouk Temsamani Foundation for Scientific Research
The Foundation extends the scholarly memory of a historian who made documents and archives a path toward rereading the history of Tangier and Northern Morocco. It preserves documentary heritage, facilitates access to knowledge, and supports rigorous research in history and the humanities through an open and responsible digital horizon.
From Legacy to Institution
The Foundation exists to carry forward a scholarly legacy rooted in documents, archives, and the historical memory of Tangier and Northern Morocco. It treats Dr. Temsamani's work not as a commemorative reference only, but as a living intellectual project that can continue through preservation, study, publication, and access.
Its role is to turn documentary and scholarly material into a structured space for research and formation, linking historians and researchers with the possibilities of digitization, cataloguing, and open access. In this sense, the Foundation works to preserve memory, organize resources, and bring reliable documents and studies closer to students, scholars, and interested readers.
