Iremam - UMR 7310 - The MMSH Library’s Documents Archive

The archives of the MMSH Library bring together a high standard of publications and materials in history, the humanities and social sciences on the countries of the Mediterranean, of both Western (North coast) and Arab civilization (extending to the region of Muslim civilization).
The archives also bring together document libraries (Arab Studies and Thematic Studies Departments), an image library and a sound archive.
Providing research support for researchers and doctoral students, it is also, however, open to the public and to students whose courses are held at the MMSH.
