David Stronach Library of Middle Eastern Archaeology

The David Stronach Library of Middle Eastern Archaeology is a non-circulating, departmental library specialized in the art and archaeology of ancient Mesopotamia, Iran, Syria, and Turkey. The library was made possible thanks to the generous gift by the Stronach family of the late Professor Stronach's personal collection. The library is housed in Social Sciences Building 251. New volumes are added on an as-needed basis according to graduate student and faculty research interests.
