The Arab World Documentation Unit is located on the lower floor of the Institute of Arabic and Islamic Studies Building on the Streatham Campus.  This building is towards the top of the campus near to the Peter Chalk Centre.

To help you find your way around the library, please take a look at our floor plans.

The Unit provides reference services on the Arab region, including official publications on various aspects of the region (economics, politics, development, social and cultural aspects and history).  The holdings cover many different subject areas of interest to those who study the Middle East. Besides the Gulf Region it has strengths in general Middle East economics, politics, and history: particularly the history of the Gulf wars and the Arab-Israeli conflict, and of British and international involvement in the region, 18th century onwards.

AWDU is open on week days only from 09.00 – 17.00.
