The University of Edinburgh has received the archive of Palestinian author and human rights lawyer Raja Shehadeh, ArabLit reported. The collection documents more than six decades of life in Palestine and has been placed at two UK universities for preservation.
Shehadeh's papers include materials spanning his work as a lawyer, writer, and human rights advocate. The archive joins holdings at the Scottish institution alongside a second UK university location.
