Introduction: ARIC provides the most comprehensive collection of materials related to Afghanistan in the region. A variety of Western and Afghan languages are represented. Sixty-one percent of the collection is in English, 39% in Dari and Pashtu. Other languages include French, German, Swedish, Arabic and Urdu. ARIC was established in 1989. The collection presently contains 9,200 catalogued titles, a total of 20,000 volumes. The documents come from many sources, a large proportion being from NGO and UN agencies with active programmes among the refugees in Pakistan and in reconstruction projects inside Afghanistan. Others are purchased in Pakistan and abroad. Many authors have kindly donated their works. Authors wishing to have their works included in the ARIC collection are welcome to send articles and books to the other address. Objective: ARIC aims to collect documents generated by all members of the NGO community and from the UN system working for Afghanistan. It then disseminates information about these materials throughout the aid community and to interested parties in Pakistan and abroad, including donors and academic institutions. Your Comments & Suggestions are Most Welcome.
