e-Médiathèque: a new online plateform of e-books and archives on Arabic and Islamic studies


e-Médiathèque is a multilingual (Arabic, Berber, French,...) digital library that gives open access to scientific and documentary collections (archives, images, manuscripts and prints) in humanities and social sciences studies of the Mediterranean region. 

Those collections are tied to the research activities of the Maison Méditerranéenne des Sciences de l'Homme (MMSH) in Aix-en-Provence (France) in the fields of law, linguistics, ethnology, political and religious history, architecture, oral traditions, and religion, etc.  These studies geographically encompass the northern shores of the Mediterranean and the Arabic and Muslim world.

See the website (only in French so far) for more information: 

NB. Access to the digital contents is through the little (auto-hiding) blue icon on the left top corner of the item.
