The Islamic Studies Library is glad to announce two new databases are now available for McGill users: The Middle East Online Series volume 1 (Arab-Israeli Relations, 1917-1970) and volume 2 (Iraq, 1914-1974).

These fully searchable databases provide access to more than 400.000 primary source documents, such as original material from the Foreign Office, Colonial Office, War Office, Cabinet Papers but also historical photographs and maps. All resources have been evaluated by an editorial team composed of recognized Middle East Studies scholars.

You can access them through the McGill Libraries’ catalogue: check them out and let us know what you think!
