DBIS - Afghan Serials Collection

An essential collection of partisan serials from the Wahdat Library, the most comprehensive private collection of rare newspapers and journals from Afghanistan. The Afghan Serials Collection includes over 45 titles published from the early 1970s to the late 1990s â€“ a critical period for the history of Afghanistan. Documenting the breadth of Afghanistanâ€™s political epochs, the Afghan Serials Collection covers the use of the press by many groups that sought to shape Afghanistanâ€™s social and intellectual landscape during this turbulent time. Various ideologies are represented in these publications, published by opposing factions from the Taliban to anti-Taliban groups, to anti-Soviet jihadi and mujaheddin groups to the Peopleâ€™s Democratic Party of Afghanistan. The Afghan Serials Collection showcases unique press materials from a key era that shaped not only Afghanistan and the Middle East, but the entire world. Featuring content not assembled elsewhere, the collection is a chronicle of the rich and dynamic Afghan press and an essential resource for scholars and area experts. The texts where published in Persian, Pushto, Arabic, Urdu, or English.
