A History of Palestine: Feature Articles
For the first time in the Institution for Palestine Studies' history, we are pleased to present online all of our Feature Articles from the Journal of Palestine Studies! A scholarly collection that greatly expands our knowledge of Palestine and amplifies discussions and debates surrounding the Arab-Israeli conflict.
These Feature Articles, spanning 173 issues from our very first publication in 1971 to our most recent quarterly published this winter, serve as an unparalleled chronicle of the struggles that have defined the Palestinian cause. Published in every issue of the Journal, these Feature Articles cover moments of crisis and hope, opportunities and setbacks, history and contemporary affairs, and culture and politics from countless angles.
All Feature Articles may be found by accessing our Back Issues of the Journal and selecting any Journal issue. Below is a sample of some of the articles.

al-Raqmiyyāt: Digital Islamic History
Reading Traditional Sources with Nontraditional Methods
Maxim Romanov is a postdoctoral associate at the Department of Classics and the Perseus Digital Library Project, Tufts University. His dissertation (Near Eastern Studies, U of Michigan, 2013) explored how modern computational techniques of text analysis can be applied to the study of premodern Arabic historical sources. In particular, he studied “The History of Islam” (Taʾrīḫ al-islām), the largest of surviving biographical collections with over 30,000 biographies, written by the Damascene scholar al-Ḏahabī (d. 1348 CE). He is continuing his research and develops methods of computational analysis for other genres of premodern Arabic literature, mainly large volume collections—bibliographical collections, collections of traditions (ḥadīṯ), collections of legal decisions (fatwás), interpretation of the Qurʾān (tafsīr), etc.—that can offer insights into long-term and large-scale developments that took place during the pre-modern period of Islamic history. He is working on two book projects: (1) “The History of Islam”: An Essay in Digital Humanities continues the study of al-Ḏahabī’s tremendous collection of biographies, while (2) The Gift to the Knowledgeable 2.0, explores cultural production in the Islamic world until the beginning of the 20th century through the study of the Hadiyyaŧ al-ʿārifīn, a bibliographical collection composed by Ismāʿīl Bāšā al-Baġdādī (d. 1920).

From Dust to Digital: Ten Years of the Endangered Archives Programme
"Much of world’s documentary heritage rests in
vulnerable, little-known and often inaccessible archives. Many of these
archives preserve information that may cast new light on historical
phenomena and lead to their reinterpretation. But such rich collections
are often at risk of being lost before the history they capture is
recorded. This volume celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Endangered
Archives Programme at the British Library, established to document and
publish online formerly inaccessible and neglected archives from across
the globe.
The Endangered Archives Programme website features over four million images from more than 240 projects. You can follow the projects’ progress on the Endangered Archives blog."
Please note individual chapters are free to download.
From Dust to Digital: Ten Years of the Endangered Archives Programme
From Dust to Digital
showcases the historical significance of the collections identified,
catalogued and digitised through the Programme, bringing together
articles on 19 of the 244 projects supported since its inception. These
contributions demonstrate the range of materials documented — including
rock inscriptions, manuscripts, archival records, newspapers,
photographs and sound archives — and the wide geographical scope of the
Programme. Many of the documents are published here for the first time,
illustrating the potential these collections have to further our
understanding of history.
The Endangered Archives Programme website features over four million images from more than 240 projects. You can follow the projects’ progress on the Endangered Archives blog."
