About the Middle East and North Africa Studies collection

The collection supports Stanford users’ learning, research, and teaching in the fields of history, literature, language, religion, philosophy, art history, international relations, anthropology, archaeology, music, and film. The collection covers print and non-print materials in the principal languages of the Middle East—Arabic, Persian, and Turkish–and those produced in other languages in North America, Europe, and elsewhere in the world.
