Arabia in Photographs
Historic photographs of Arabia from the 1930s to the 1990s formed part of a 2009 exhibition at the University of Exeter’s Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies (IAIS).
Capturing scenes of everyday life across the social spectrum, these images offer a fascinating glimpse of Arabia’s people, ships, forts, buildings and street scenes from the 1930s to the 1990s.
This exhibition is part of a larger, collaborative project with the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter to digitise and preserve hundreds of historical images from Arabia. It has been made possible by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council’s Designated Challenge Fund and considerable support from collectors willing to share their experience of the Gulf.
