Cambridge Archive Editions is now an imprint of Cambridge University Press Our publications provide hundreds of thousands of pages of facsimile original documents, as well as many maps, on the national heritage and political development of many countries Our aim is to make available to libraries and scholars historical reference materials which otherwise would remain unknown, difficult to access, or fragmentary We produce new titles every year, as current affairs encourage us to cover topical material For many years we have specialised in the history of the Middle East and our titles provide an extensive library collection of resources on the modern political development of the Arabian peninsula and Persian Gulf
