Database / Electronic Bibliography

Islamic Studies e-Book Collection from the Arabic database supplier ALMANHAL. The collection includes 2,035 titles about Islamic law, Islamic studies and Islamic theology – mainly in Arabic but a few also in English. These books were published in print between 2004 and 2016. However, they are barely available in Germany. Now these works can freely be accessed by anyone at your institution. The collection reflects the current discourse of Islamic and theological questions in the Arabic world.

The MIDA online research portal consists of three parts: a Database, an Archival Reflexicon and Thematic Resources. The database contains systematic information about collections related to modern India in German archives. The Archival Reflexicon is an ongoing collection of essays on historical or methodological themes and on India-related holdings in German archives. The Thematic Resources rubric provides research data generated within MIDA.

The database India, Raj & Empire hosts a variety of materials related to the history of the British Raj. Drawing upon the manuscript collections of the National Library of Scotland this resource concerns the History of South Asia between the foundation of the East India Company in 1615 and the granting of independence to India and Pakistan in 1947. The material comprises diaries and journals, official and private papers, letters, sketches, paintings and original Indian documents containing histories and literary works.

There is content on Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim and Kashmir, as well as other frontier regions. Other files look at the impact on UK, US and European trade, industrial policy, education and the media. There is an immense variety of material including diplomatic dispatches, telegrams, newspaper cuttings and transcripts, maps, photographs, political and economic reports, accounts of visits and tours, minutes of meetings, conference proceedings, letters, leaflets and other ephemera.

In the project ‘Cultural Exchange in a Time of Global Conflict: Colonials, Neutrals and Belligerents during the First World War’ actors, practices and sites of encounters and exchange during the war are explored. The resulting Sourcebook Cultural Exchange in a Time of Global Conflict (CEGC) aims to introduce scholars and the interested public to rare or unknown sources and stimulate further research and thinking on the subject of cultural encounters.
