AUB University Libraries

For World Environment Day 2026, the AUB Archives highlights selections from both its University Archives and Special Collections. From the University Archives, we revisit AUB’s commitment to environmental preservation through the 2003 initiative in which the Environment Club helped establish AUB as a bird sanctuary. From our Special Collections, we feature a remarkable photograph of the olive forest in Shuwayfat from the Joseph & Joyce Stein Photo Collection, captured as early as 1898, offering a glimpse of Lebanon’s natural landscape more than a century ago.
