Catalogue Note
The first work documents the evolution and development of the Saudi state from the momentous reconquest of Riyadh in 1902. The collection offers historical evidence for the creation of Saudi Arabia –the capture of Riyadh, the conquests of Al-Hasa and the Hijaz, the occupation of Taif, Jiddah, Mecca and Medina, and the proclamation of the Kingdom. The second work contains the famous report concerning relations between Saudi Arabia the Yemen, and the final work presents an extensive collection of some 2,000 letters from and to King Abdul Aziz over half a century.
