Donation to the King Fahad National Library

Following on our donation of the entire collection of Seminar for Arabian Studies Proceedings to the King Fahad National Library in Riyadh,  Director General Ali S Sowaine sent the MBI Al Jaber Foundation publications from their Library as a token of our reciprocal relationship.

Director General Sowaine also thanked the Foundation for the donation, saying the following: "We gratefully acknowledge receipt of the proceedings of the Seminar of Arabian Studies so kindly presented to King Fahad National Library. These proceedings include highly researched articles written by internationally known scholars regarding the Arabian Peninsula which are indispensable to our research scholars. We find this prestigious gift of the proceedings an important and useful addition and a proper place will be given on the shelves in our library for the use of our readers.  King Fahad National Library deems it a great favour and generosity of the MBI Al Jaber Foundation to have been given this unique set of the Proceedings."

Upon receipt, the books were added to the Library’s existing collection of 1,300,000 items of information plus 200,000 historical documents.
