NIMAR and Leiden University Libraries 

As a center of expertise on Morocco and the wider region, the NIMAR library is also actively involved in selecting and acquiring scientific and non-scientific literature published in North-West Africa for Leiden University Libraries. Ever since 2015, its aim has been to cover and document all disciplines in the social sciences and the humanities as they relate to North-West Africa, with a particular focus on Morocco. In the past ten years, more than ten thousand publications have been acquired in the region and made available for education and research at Leiden University.
