A sample title from the collection.

The Near and Middle Eastern Department of Cambridge University Library and the ebooks@cambridge team are delighted to announce that Cambridge now has permanent access to this exciting resource via Brill following a successful trial earlier in the year.

The collection currently contains 241 volumes in Persian and Arabic “originally published by the Written Heritage Research Institute (Miras Maktoob), a non-governmental organisation in Tehran … on Islamic history and culture in the broadest sense.” (from Brill’s description).  A further 7 titles are due to be added in due course to complete the collection.

A record for each book is in iDiscover, and here is also a direct link via Raven authentication to the whole package on the Brill platform: https://ezp.lib.cam.ac.uk/login?url=https://brill.com/view/package/9789004365452?language=en
