Scope and Content of Collection
The collection contains material collected by Richard P. Mitchell, a professor and scholar of the history of the modern Middle
East and North Africa, during the course of his personal and professional research. A large portion of the collection pertains
to the history and the early years of the Muslim Brotherhood, a religious, political, and social organization founded in Egypt
in 1928 by Hasan al-Banna. Despite having undergone serious government suppression in 1948, 1954, and 1965, the Muslim Brotherhood
remains a large international political organization.
The Society of the Muslim Brothers Research File contains material gathered by Mitchell in Egypt from 1951 to 1956 while conducting research for his dissertation,
later published as
The Society of the Muslim Brothers by Oxford University Press in 1969. It includes rare publications from members of the Muslim Brotherhood, both official and
unofficial, that date from 1934 to 1963. Also included are editions of the organization's weekly newspaper,
Al-Da'wa; other limited circulation newspapers, including bound volumes of local press; pamphlets mourning the assassination of Hasan
al-Banna; and other printed matter regarding the Muslim Brotherhood. In addition, the series contains copies of the journal
Al- Muslimūn, which was published by Sa'id Ramadan, a prominent member of the Brotherhood. The items in this series are organized according
to an alphanumeric system used and created by Mitchell. An inventory listing the titles of these items is located at the beginning
of the series.
The remainder of the collection contains clippings, booklets, books, and other printed matter, mainly from the late 1970s
and early 1980s, collected in the course of Mitchell's work as a professor of history at the University of Michigan and his
research leading up to the publication of
The Modern Middle East and North Africa. The Geographic File, Subject File, and Arabic File contain Mitchell's newspaper clippings files that he organized by either
subject or geographic location. They include clippings from English, French, and Arabic publications and cover topics such
as US foreign policy, the Middle East, North Africa, and various other global issues from the late 1970s. These files have
been arranged for the most part according to a printed inventory created by Mitchell, located in the Richard P. Mitchell File.
The collection also includes some of Mitchell's personal writings and correspondence (Richard P. Mitchell File), writings
from colleagues and other scholars in the field of Islamic and Middle Eastern studies (Speeches and Writings by Others), newsletters
and publications from groups concerned with Middle Eastern and Islamic issues (Organizations File), copies of Arabic publications
(Printed Matter and Oversize Material), as well as official US Department of State publications relating to the Middle East
and other topics found in the clippings files (Printed Matter).
