I found out about the National Centre for Documentation and Research in Abu Dhabi a couple of years ago and I've been meaning to knock on their doors and ask if I can spend some time to browse around. I had no idea the centre was established in 1968. I imagine there's some great archival material related to the UAE that can be found there. 

The National Centre for Documentation and Research in Abu Dhabi showcases a wealth of historical materials that sheds light on the life in UAE and the Arabian Peninsula dating back to the 16th century.

Check out this interview with Dr Abdullah Al Reyes, the Director of the National Centre for Documentation and Research. He explains how the centre was set up and talks about what can be found there.

 

I need to stop procrastinating and schedule to contact them soon.
