With more than 75,000 books: The electronic library of the al-Abbas’s (p) Holy Shrine launches the largest theses website.

The electronic library of the Library and House of Manuscript at the al-Abbas’s (p) Holy Shrine, has launched a website specializing in theses and doctoral dissertations, including more than 75,000 books in various scientific and humanitarian fields since the creation of higher education in Iraq.
