The Qatar Digital Library
is the product of an ongoing collaboration between the Qatar Foundation, the
Qatar National Library, and the British Library. Together, these organizations
are digitizing and curating hundreds of thousands of archival materials
relating to Middle Eastern and Indian history - including maps, newspapers,
scientific manuscripts, and photographs - thereby making these cultural
collections accessible to both researchers and the general public alike.
Researchers can search or browse the archives, which are filtered by geographic
location or time. The library also contains over one hundred articles by
experts designed for anyone looking to learn more about the history of the Gulf
region. These essays, along with all commentary on the site, are available in
both English and Arabic and provide context and insight into archives. One such
article describes the career of Omani musician and singer Salim Rashid Suri,
who was known as "The Singing Sailor," and links to audio clips of
Suri's music. Another article provides context for the library's collection of
over 5,000 personal papers of British personnel who worked in the India Office
between 1750-1947.
