North African Archives
Under construction…
I have accumulated an abundance of interesting archival material (Arabic, French and English) and will be placing links to scanned versions of some of this material here. These archives are difficult to access elsewhere: in some cases they are in an uncatalogued state within an archive, e.g. the post WWI Sequestres de Guerre materials in the Moroccan National Archive building in Rabat, or they are archive materials I purchased in the souq al-joutiya in Rabat (some 30 account ledgers were being sold for vegetable wrapping paper when I purchased them for 30 dirhams in 1979). As it is inappropriate to cite materials unavailable to other scholars and I have finished scanning the majority of these materials I hope to make them available at least before I submit publications referencing them. In practice, I expect to make materials available to other scholars at a much more rapid pace.
