The King Fahad National Library

In keeping with its previous support for education and the humanities in the Arabian Peninsula, the MBI Al Jaber Foundation is donating the entire collection of Seminar for Arabian Studies Proceedings to the King Fahad National Library, located in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.  Papers read at the Foundation-supported Seminar are published annually in the Proceedings of the Seminar for Arabian Studies in time for the Seminar of the following year. The Proceedings contain new research on Arabia and reports of new discoveries in the Peninsula in a wide range of disciplines.

The books will be added to the Library’s existing collection of 1,300,000 items of information plus 200,000 historical documents.

The King Fahad National Library, the legal deposit and copyright for Saudi Arabia and its main repository for all books, information and historic materials relating to the Kingdom, aims to preserve and document intellectual work in the Kingdom, making it available to readers and contributing to the enhancement of national culture in the Kingdom.  The Library houses the Kingdom Information Center, The National Archive of Historic Photos, The Manuscript and Rare Collection, The Historic Document Center, Ottoman Resources, and special libraries and rare collections, a Periodicals Section and provides maintenance and preservation for special acquisitions.

MBI Al Jaber Foundation

The MBI Al Jaber Foundation was born from Mohamed Bin Issa Al Jaber's desire to promote better understanding between the peoples of the Middle East and the wider world.

We believe that better understanding will be achieved through education and an awareness of and respect for each others’ cultures.
