The National Library and Archives translated publications enrich its platform in the "Abu Dhabi International Book Fair".

The National Library and Archives enriches its participating platform in the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair 2022 with some of its publications that were translated into other languages for their great importance in documenting important stages of UAE history.
His Excellency Abdullah Majid Al Ali, Acting Director General of the National Library and Archives, said: The National Library and Archives seeks to promote the UAE modern history, which entails translating the books that document it into living foreign languages. The Tarjamat project selected the National Library and Archives’ most important translated publications to introduce the UAE’s ancient and glorious history as well as its prosperous present, and its building, advancement and development experience. We have finally taken the initiative to translate the following books into Hebrew: (Zayed, from Challenges to Union), (Zayed, Man Who Built a Nation) and (Qasr Al Hosn, the History of the Rulers of Abu Dhabi).
H.E. added: The translation of these sources promotes culture and supports the dissemination of cultural publications and exchange, furthermore, it is considered an important step towards introducing to the world the region’s history and civilization, as well as the pioneering UAE federation experience, which was the outcome of the tireless efforts of the Founding Father and Builder, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and his fellow Rulers. These books also document the various stages of development and progress the UAE witnessed under its wise leadership, which earned it the title and status of a model modern state.
His Excellency pointed out that these valuable translations play a major role in promoting to the world an ideal image of the UAE, which in turn enhances the desired constructive and civilized communication. The National Library and Archives has recently taken a special interest in translating some of its publications into Hebrew, which enhances cultural relations and promotes respect for other cultures.

It is noteworthy that the National Library and Archives’ participating platform at the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair 2022 introduced three books, that were translated into other foreign languages, namely: (Zayed, from Challenges to Union), which reflects the great achievements of the Founding Father and Builder of the UAE, the Late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan during the period from 1946 to 1971, and stands as a clear irrefutable evidence of his great vision and un-matched legendary progress. That period witnessed Sheikh Zayed’s accession to the reins of power, the fame he earned as a renowned " Desert Chief " in Al Ain oasis until he became the President of the UAE. This detailed research study includes a deep and interesting analysis of contemporary and notable figures as well as key events. The book also includes copies of highly valuable historic and archival documents.
As for the book entitled: (Zayed: Man Who Built a Nation), it provides the most detailed analysis of the life of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, supported and enriched by the collective memory of many of his contemporary figures who witnessed and participated in his long journey and glorious march, The 800 page book portrays and depicts his great unique biography and is supported by key references and unique archival photos from all over the world which enhance the new book content.
The book entitled: (Qasr al-Hosn, the History of the Rulers of Abu Dhabi 1793-1966) – is based on the official records of the Gulf region’s British Officials. It tackles, in five chapters, the historical overview, economic and political transformation witnessed by the sheikhdom of Abu Dhabi, its emergence to power and fame in the period between (1833- 1855), and Abu Dhabi, the leading Gulf coast sheikhdom (1855-1909), whereas the last chapter depicts the end of a stage and the beginning of new developments (1909-1966).
