The Research Library at Sharjah Archaeology Museum is available to anyone who is interested in obtaining information on Archaeology. The Library has a growing collection of books, journals and maps in English and Arabic.
Access to the Library is free of charge and available to all. We are happy to assist visitors and researchers with their research projects.

Hours of Operation: The Library is open Sunday – Thursday, 8:30am to 2:00pm. The Library is closed on Fridays, Saturdays, and public holidays.

Appointments: All first-time users of the Library are required to make an appointment with the librarian in order to become familiarized with the collection and procedures. Future visits may be made at any time during open hours and without appointment.

Access to resources: Library materials are not loaned out and may only be used in the Library.

Use of resources: Pencils should be used for note taking. Laptops are allowed, though there are limited electrical outlets available for public use. The use of digital cameras for "copying" is allowed, though the researcher does so with the understanding that this is for personal research use only and must be approved by the librarian.

No eating or drinking is allowed in the library.

Photocopies can be made for visitors or sent out on request.
Copyright restrictions and charges apply. Details of all charges are available on request.

If you have a research request, or if you would like to make an appointment, please contact the Museum by phone at +971 6 566 5466, or via email at info@archaeologymuseum.ae to discuss arrangements.
