The University of Edinburgh has received Palestinian author and human rights lawyer Raja Shehadeh's archive, ArabLit reported. The collection spans more than six decades of life in Palestine and includes documents, writings, and records accumulated throughout Shehadeh's career as both a literary figure and legal advocate.
Shehadeh, a prominent Palestinian intellectual, has long documented Palestinian experiences through both creative and legal work. His archive captures perspectives on Palestinian society, politics, and daily life across multiple generations. The materials are being preserved at two universities in the United Kingdom, securing their accessibility for researchers and scholars studying Palestinian history and literature for years to come.
