The Manuscript Fonds of the National Archive of the Ministry of Justice of Georgia preserves about 900 Georgian manuscripts. Manuscript fragments are also stored in a variety of private archives and libraries. Georgian manuscripts preserved at the National Archives of Georgia were recently described in a new way in 2014. Consequently, 400 document descriptions have been prepared as of right now. Out of these, volume IV is being readied for publication, while the three descriptive volumes have already been released.

The issue of making this fonds, which is one of the most significant, much more accessible after the first editions of the descriptions arose. In a short amount of time, a special program that allowed for the uploading of both digital copies of the full manuscript fonds and detailed descriptions was created. The majority of the manuscripts preserved in the National Archives' fonds will eventually be accessible to the public for viewing and study. These manuscripts were either bought by the National Archives, returned from Russia, brought from Mount Athos, or gathered in various parts of Georgia following Sovietization.

While some of these have been recognized by UNESCO, the majority remain unexplored. The public can now access autographs from famous figures, beautifully decorated, translated, or original works, and manuscripts with texts from different or conventional editions.
