The Akkasah photographic archive at NYU Abu Dhabi is drawn from around the Middle East and North Africa. We digitize, catalogue and preserve photographic collections and make them available for scholarly research and general consultation both online via this website and in person at the NYU campus in Abu Dhabi. We also commission and archive new documentary work. Our archive consists at present of over 33,000 images, including prints, negatives and slides, of which over 11,000 are currently available online.

Searching is available in Arabic and English.
