Selected Bibliographic and Archival References
The following lists of bibliographic and archival references are a collective effort on the part of institute co-directors and participants to highlight those sources and repositories of direct influence to their varied research projects. This is not meant to be a comprehensive resource on Lebanon or any one topic vis-a-vis Lebanon. Rather, it is hoped that the lists will contribute to highlighting and stressing the importance of recognizing the diverse array of secondary literature, primary sources, and archival repositories one can make use of in researching historical and contemporary Lebanon, or any combinations of its various cities, towns, villages, and regions.
