University of Melbourne Special Collections

The University of Melbourne in Australia and Al-Akhawayn University in Ifrane in Morocco are making available their collection of images of the Middle East and North Africa before the coming of photography.

The University of Melbourne Special Collections hold around 200,000 volumes of books, journals and pamphlets, which have been placed on 'closed access' by reason of their age, value or uniqueness. This has been done in order to ensure they will be preserved for future generations of scholars and researchers.  Al-Akhawayn University in Ifrane’s collection of material on Morocco, while it is much smaller, is also one of the best collections anywhere on early modern
Morocco. We hope that by making them available in digital form we will provide a service to the world community.
