About
"Qatar Histories" is a meaningful oral history project, which represents the traditional stories of Qatar, established by a group of students from Texas A&M University. This project aims to conserve the unrecorded memories and popular history of Qatar, and uses these to help new generations of Qatari residents to learn about and appreciate the past.
