Are you interesting in Middle East travelogues? If so, please take a look at Rice University's Travelers in the Middle East Archive (TIMEA). This digital collection brings together images (photos, postcards), maps, text (travel guides, museum catalogs, and travel narratives), and teaching guides for those interesting in researching Middle Eastern travel in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. While this resource focuses heavily on Egypt, many other countries are represented in the collection.
Image information can be found here.
Recently I was asked about the books purchased with Islamic Studies funds last year. Since I wasn't here last year, I didn't know how to answer this query. However, after a little digging, I was able to come up with a list. All the books purchased last year were in English, something we will be rectifying this coming year. Since this is a fairly long list I am going to break this up over several posts. Enjoy this and check out some of these wonderful titles from the Olin Library.
