Jerusalem

The latest addition to CPS programming and research areas, our Jerusalem project also includes a web presence, starting with a historical newspaper collection (beginning with al Quds, 1908-1914, the first private Palestinian newspaper), a map collection, a postcard collection, and the full searchable archive of the Jerusalem Quarterly—a journal dedicated to the history, present status, and investigative journalism on the city of Jerusalem. The core material will be continuously replenished with new data as new items are acquired.

READINGS IN THE KHALIDIYYA

Located in Jerusalem, the Khalidiyya Library is arguably the most important manuscript collection in Palestine and one of the most significant family-owned Islamic manuscripts collections in the world. The library’s collection was recently digitized and made available to scholars by the Hill Museum and Manuscript Library (HMML). The accessibility of the collection to users around the world will surely open up new avenues for the study of the history and intellectual life of Palestine and the wider region.

Readings in the Khalidiyya celebrates the new accessibility of the Khalidiyya Library collection through conversations with scholars involved in manuscript studies.
