Description

The National Archives of the United Arab Emirates (NA) collects documents of special historical value to the UAE, Gulf Cooperation Council states and the Arabian Peninsula, both from within the UAE and from abroad. It works to preserve the UAE's unique culture, heritage and traditions and forms part of the Ministry of Presidential Affairs. More information on NA can be found at: www.na.ae.

The National Archives (TNA) is the official archive and publisher for the UK government, and for England and Wales, holding official records containing 1,000 years of history. Its role is to collect and secure the future of the government record, both digital and physical, to preserve it for generations to come, and to make it as accessible and available as possible. TNA is a non-ministerial department and its parent department is the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. More information on TNA can be found at www.nationalarchives.gov.uk. TNA fulfils a leadership role for the archive sector.

The Arabian Gulf Digital Archive (AGDA) is a joint project between NA and TNA. Together, NA and TNA will create the leading online digital archive for historical and cultural material pertinent to the Arabian Gulf region (UAE), the Gulf Cooperation Council states and the Arabian Peninsula.

In the form of a public-facing website, this online digital archive will initially provide academics and researchers, as well as interested non-specialists, with access to primary source material from within TNA which will have accompanying Arabic translations. It will also include key documents from NA and over time will ultimately include collections from a network of international archives.
