BIBLIOGRAPHY: Library from the North Caucasus Research & Heritage Institute

Much has been written on and about Circassians the past two hundred years by Westerners, Easterners, Russians, and Adyghe peoples themselves, be it in the North Caucasus or the diaspora. We are in the process of accumulating as much written material as possible to include in our library. There are also audio and video materials that are being documented and archived at the present time. Since the material we have is written in various languages, we will be listing the English, German, and French languages first, then continue with Adyghe (Cyrillic and Latin), Arabic, Turkish, and Russian. As the library grows, this page will be the main portal to the varied material we possess which will be broken down by type (audio, video, and books) and language.Several books listed below can be purchased from the online booksellers alibris.com. Most are used, and in some cases, very rare and expensive. Just click their logo in the navigation column below and see for yourself.
