Did you know NYUAD's Special Collections Department has a new exhibition? Come check it out in the Library!

Frauke Heard-Bey and David Heard have gathered numerous historical publications and documents about the UAE for nearly 60 years now. Since 2018, they have generously donated many of these materials to the NYU Abu Dhabi Library's Archives and Special Collections department, where they now comprise the Frauke Heard-Bey and David Heard Collection (MC.064), the largest single collection in the department, occupying over 70 linear feet (21 linear meters) of shelving space.

The three display cases in the Library entrance present selected publications and documents grouped into three themes: early days of the UAE, the oil industry in Abu Dhabi, and cultural and social life in this city.

This week's Did You Know features the Arabic Collections Online (ACO) project.

Access the ACO website through the link here: http://dlib.nyu.edu/aco/
