Arthur Paul Afghanistan Collection

UNO Criss Library's Archives and Special Collections offers several search tools for you to find material relevant to your research including the library catalog, finding aids (inventories to archival and manuscript collections), and digital collections. To find the resources you are seeking, you may need to utilize all of these search tools as well as others outside of the library. 

• Most material in the Arthur Paul Afghanistan Collection (books, periodicals, maps, audiovisual material) can be found using the library catalog. A video tutorial for searching the library catalog is available.
• Arthur Paul Afghanistan Collection books, newspapers, and other material that have been digitized are available through DigitalCommons@UNO including The Arthur Paul Afghanistan Collection Bibliography, Volume I: Pashto and Dari Titles (1995) and Arthur Paul Afghanistan Collection Bibliography - Volume II: English and European Languages (2000). These digitized works can also be found searching the library catalog.
• Finding aids (inventories) for archival collections of personal papers and organizational records in Archives and Special Collections are available in the finding aids database Nebraska Archives Online.
• Maps are described in both the library catalog and the finding aids database. Researchers should search both platforms. Maps donated to Criss Library continue to be cataloged as staffing permits. 
• The topic guides in this guide may also help you as you begin research.
