- User Conditions:
- Access is for research purposes only.
- Physical Characteristics:
- Images in this fonds were primarily captured through digital scanning. In instances where the original books were too thick, brittle or tightly bound, digital photography was used.

The Islamic kissa books are bound on the right hand side, and this is reflected in the images.
