Archival Collection

THE INTENT OF THE ARCHIVAL COLLECTION IS TO PRESERVE THE PRIMARY RESOURCES, AND DOCUMENT THE DEVELOPMENT OF ARAB AMERICAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY, THE NATION, AND THE WORLD.

Book and Materials Collection

The books, periodicals, CDs, DVDs, and videos in our collection reflect the fact that “The AANM documents, preserves, celebrates, and educates the public on the history, life, culture and contributions of Arab Americans.  We serve as a resource to enhance the knowledge and understanding about Arab Americans and their presence in the United States.”  The collection, while focusing on the demographics, art, literature, history, news, broad religious institutions, and developments of Arab Americans as an important segment of the American population, also contains pertinent information about the 22 Arab countries that serve as the countries of origin.
