Since its emergence in 1919 as an independent state, the legendary home of the Afghans continues to intrigue the world, as it suffers from the complexities associated with identity and modern political designs.\u00a0 As scholars and information professionals continue to witness the perseverance of Afghans, the immeasurable loss of Afghanistan\u2019s intellectual and publishing culture is yet to be seen in full view.\u00a0 This guide to the National Bibliography of Afghanistan is not intended to be comprehensive in scope.\u00a0 It is, however, a compilation of materials and resources, which will enable scholars to track published materials on Afghanistan in the vernacular languages.\u00a0 Due to the scarcity of some of the sources listed in this research guide, annotations and bibliographic data were produced via card catalog entries for listed sources.\u00a0\u00a0 This guide is divided into four sections: Library Catalogs<\/strong>, General Resources<\/strong>, Monographic resources<\/strong>, and Periodical Resources<\/strong>.\u00a0 As Afghanistan struggles to revive its printing culture and restore its print and online collections, researchers are encouraged to consult the following: the Afghanistan Digital Library<\/a>, Afghanistan Center Library Catalog at Kabul University<\/a>, and the Arthur Paul Afghanistan Collection<\/a> at the University of University of Nebraska-Omaha.<\/p>\n The printing press in Afghanistan emerged in the late 1860s during the reign of Sh\u012br Al\u012b Khan.\u00a0 The emir inaugurated the printing age with the purchase of lithograph printing equipment from British India.\u00a0 Afghanistan’s first book,\u00a0Va\u02bf\u1e93-n\u0101ma<\/strong><\/em> (approximately 90 pages total with 6 1\/2 pages of\u00a0 introduction), was published in Kabul in 1877.\u00a0 Around this time, another title,\u00a0Us\u1fe1l va qav\u0101\u02bfid-i-\u02bfaskar\u012b<\/strong><\/em> (approximately 79 pages total with 8-9 pages of Persian introduction, maps and illustrations, and translation of English texts into Pashto) was also published.\u00a0 During the last decades of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Afghanistan’s publishing output began to gain momentum.\u00a0 A compilation of early serial publications affirms Afghanistan’s transformation:<\/p>\n 1.
