In 1904, the Library of Congress purchased the personal collection of German Indologist Albrecht Weber (1825-1901), which contained approximately 4,000 books, articles, notes, newspaper clippings, postcards, and other correspondence with philologists and other scholars of his day. Many of the works on Indology in the Weber collection come with his handwritten notes and marginalia. The collection includes several dozen nineteenth-century Sanskrit manuscripts, such as Aitareya Brahmana, Agnistomaprayoga, and Madhava's Kalanirnaya. To learn more about items in the Weber collection, see the following print catalog:

The South Asian Rare Book Collection has many examples of early nineteenth-century Christian missionary literature printed in British India. This includes a number of works from the Serampore printing press, some of which are among the earliest printed works in various South Asian languages.

In the narrow lanes of Murgi Chowk in Hyderabad, tucked between lines of antique stores selling cheap artsy stuff, lies a nearly half-century old bookstore. Unless you are a bibliophile who is in search of some little known pieces in Urdu, Persian or French, chances are slim that you will ever notice the board of the Haziq and Mohi bookstore, home to over 10,000 rare collections from around the world.

With space for just one person to walk through, the bookstore is strewn with books, from the floor to the ceiling. While some are neatly arranged on the shelves, many are stacked on the floor, with a pile of dust neatly formed on the covers. There is very little grandeur to suggest that this 47-year-old bookstore is a haven for historians, scholars and students from around the world.

The Haziq and Mohi bookstore was set up in 1972 by Ahmed Bin Mohammed Bafanna, who was a linguistics graduate from the Osmania University. The entire treasure trove is the personal collection of Bafanna, who believed in passing on the word of knowledge he inherited from his grandfather Salim Bin Ali Bafanna, to younger generations.

If you assume that the store houses books in random order, you are mistaken. Ask Ibrahim for English fiction, he straight away guides you to the rear of the bookstore, where it is slightly easier to breathe, and lets you sift through books without much hassle. Ask Ibrahim for copies of the census from the Nizam era, he carefully takes out stacks of tattered yellow pages, and gives you a photocopy, as they are rare pieces which do not have a replacement. Philosophy, medicine, mysticism, architecture, Urdu and Persian dictionaries - you name it and Haziq and Mohi has them all.

Historians in the city were in for a rude shock when Bafanna passed away three years ago. The shop was closed for a couple of months and this got scholars and students worried about the bookstore's fate.

The books at Haziq and Mohi are priced according to their age. If the book is only half a century old, you can buy it for somewhere between Rs 3,000- Rs 5,000. If the book has seen centuries of wear and tear, the price can shoot up to Rs 20,000-Rs 50,000. Certain books are only sold in photocopies as they are the only pieces available.

Rare books are cataloged and our holdings can be viewed online in Discover advanced search. You may search our holdings by author, title, subject, call number, publisher or publication date. For more information or assistance, please ask an archivist.

This article is a brief account of a rare Urdu booklet entitled 'Report Nizam Ayurvedic Safari Dawakhana'. It is a report of a mobile clinic sent by Nizam VII of Hyderabad to Kumbh Mela at Allahabad on a religious occasion in the year 1942, which was printed in the same year. This report sheds light on the history of the sacred place Prayag, its importance and the activities of the mobile clinic with the remarks of eminent personalities who visited the clinic on the occasion.

Today I organized Howdy Stranger! A Flickr Photowalk at Frere Hall, Karachi. As usual people were late so I checked out the Sunday Book Bazaar at Frere Hall. I really had a great time searching books and found some rare books from early 20th century. Some bookstalls have really great collection. Book shopping is like a therapy to me. It gives me relaxation. Searching books from these book stalls is like a treasure hunt and sometimes you can find some gems or a jewel in the crown.

Started more than half a century ago by Ahmed Bin Mohammed Bafanna, Haziq and Mohi today houses thousands of books. Most of them are decades, if not centuries, old, and cover an eclectic variety of subjects: from history and philosophy to mysticism, religion, medicine, Islamic art and architecture. In one corner of this dusty store can be found old census reports of Hyderabad, and in another corner, rare Persian, Arabic and Urdu dictionaries.

The library is located at Afzal Gunj on the bank of the River Musi. It houses 500,000 books and magazines including some rare Palm-leaf manuscripts. This library is the apex of the state's library system.[2]

The Library has a collection of around five hundred thousand books published since the early 19th century, and Hyderabad Samachara, a monthly newspaper published by HEH Mir Osman Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VII in 1941.

The first phase of computerisation and networking in libraries through e-Grandhalaya software developed by National Informatics Centre has begun. The project will begin on an experimental basis in Warangal and Hyderabad. Over 40,000 books have already been digitized at SCL with the help of Carnegie Mellon University's Universal Online Library Projects. The digitised works include titles in Hindi, English, Telugu, Urdu and Persian languages. Carnegie Mellon University provides the funding for this project.

This collection gathers both rare printed books and manuscripts. Featured in this collection are Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Japanese, Tibetan, Mongolian, Indian and Sinhalese manuscripts and rare printed books from Middle East and North Africa, from Iran, Mongolian prints and rare printed books, Japanese and Chinese rare printed books.

This organisation was prelude to founding of this library on 21st March 1994, when the members of organisation thought of a place where local community could meet and read. Room, which was till then used by the young ones to play carrom, cards or just relax was transformed into a library. Quickly books were sourced from personal collections of members, other people of the locality, through gifts, donations, old bookshops, footpath bazars and whatever means. Rare but forgotten books in many personal collections saw the light since quite a long. Library was named after great Islamic scholar and translator of 18th century, Hazrat Shah Waliullah, who himself was the resident of this historic city. Library went up and running and quickly got popular among the residents. Walls of the small room were thickly packed with books. Floor was carpeted and a low table was placed in the centre for readers to read comfortably.

For Delhi Youth Welfare Association, this initiative of library and all its other activities connected the four pillars of learning and spirituality- the mosque, the khanqah, madrassas and public libraries, a tradition that began almost thousand years ago with the days of Iltutmish. Even before the library came into existence, Delhi Youth Welfare association had started providing free study books to poor meritorious students and other academic help to the needy students. It still keeps doing that with number of students getting help increasing every year.

Another interesting thing about library is its opening hours. I have rarely come across any library which is buzzing with activities so close to midnight. Library opens in the morning at 10 am and closes for lunch at 1 pm. There are few visitors in the morning, mainly researchers. In the afternoon, this library becomes a coaching centre. But the most interesting time of the library comes in the evening, when it opens again at around 9 pm. It remains open till around midnight. One might find it very unusual time for any library, but this is the time, when this library is most alive and kicking.

But these are just a few from this treasure. For its rare collection, this library is also a base for scholars from around the world, interested in doing their research on Islamic literature or the history of Delhi. All the rare books have now been filmed to preserve them. Original volumes are kept safe and filmed versions are kept for display. Books are being digitised and properly catalogued. Number of books in the library are increasing continuously and a large number of books are actually kept outside the library in houses of the members. Library is definitely in need of a bigger place and larger support. So far, members of the DYWA are managing everything on their own, from their own pockets or from charity. 17dc91bb1f
