Archives in the News



The magazine Saudi Aramco World (available in many public libraries
and libraries of educational institutions) has an interesting article
in the Jan/Feb 2001 issue on p. 28-37, "The Pictures Between," by Lynn
Love, about the Arab Image Foundation, whose goal is to identify and
collect photographs, often by amateur photographers, taken in the Arab
world, with the idea of counteracting two prevalent stereotypical
images of Arabs: the Arab as exotic decoration in tourist photos of
the 1800s, and the several negative stereotypes of Arabs in recent
photos that appear in news media
