Global Americana Institute

"This project is a non-profit. We received 501(c)3 status as a charitable foundation in December, 2005 via the Internal Revenue Service of the federal government. All donations made to the Global Americana Institute are tax deductible...

"We intend to have all the founding fathers translated—Madison, Franklin, Washington, Paine, and so on. We would also like to see works that treat issues in democracy and multi-culturalism, as well as engaging histories of the United States. We cannot find in OCLC, an electronic catalogue of over 40 million books held in participating libraries, any Arabic translation of the major speeches and letters of Martin Luther King or of the works of Susan B. Anthony. Eventually it would be nice to see in Arabic a good solid book about, e.g., the history of the American Jewish community, and other important minority groups about which most most Arab readers would find it difficult to get solid knowledge from the sources now available to them."
