Access to Mideast and Islamic Resources (AMIR) project started in 2010 as a series of conversations between librarians about the need for a tool to assemble and distribute information on open access material relating to the Middle East and Islamic Studies. During the last nine years we have published hundreds of posts helping researchers identify freely available resources online.
Our statistics indicate that most frequently visited pages are the following:
Alphabetical list of Open Access Islamic Manuscripts Collections
Alphabetical List of Open Access Journals in Middle Eastern Studies
West African Arabic Manuscript Database
Arabic Almanac App
Using rather simple classification system we identified dozens of subjects helping users discover resources and navigate the site by country, theme or format:
| Turkey | 94 |
| Manuscripts | 66 |
| Egypt | 50 |
| USA | 48 |
| Palestine | 43 |
| Germany | 38 |
| Iran | 36 |
| France | 32 |
| Israel | 31 |
| E-Books | 26 |
| Afghanistan | 23 |
