The Middle East digital collection at SOAS is growing.  It comprises holdings from the following countries.

Kurdish materials are also available.

Digitisation of Middle Eastern holdings began at SOAS with the Islamic Manuscripts Gallery, a joint project with Yale University in the USA, and now part of a larger Islamic Manuscripts Oline collection.  While both hold a majority Middle East content, these manuscript collections also hold materials from Africa, Central Asia and Southeast Asia.

More information about our physical holdings - the collection that we are digitising - is also available.
