Prof. Dr. Muḥammad b. Tāwīt al-Ṭanjī (1918-1974) was a Moroccan scholar of literature, fiqh, and history known for his scholarly publications.

The collection, which consists of notebooks, miscellaneous documents, and bibliographic fiches, is organized in three groups. Notebooks constitute a significant portion of the 550 documents. These notebooks, which largely contain academic notes, include bibliographical information, indexes, and various works, as well as research that al-Ṭanjī started but did not complete.
