The Cambridge Archive Editions is an independent British company conducting original research in British government archives and other sources. It makes available materials which otherwise would have to be consulted in the archives, and assembled after much effort. The volumes contain thousands of documents, reproduced in facsimile, as well as numerous maps, on the political history of the Middle East. Most of the documents are in English; some are in Arabic. The collection at the Dayan Center is unique in Israel. It may be freely consulted by all visitors to the Library.
