The Kabul Times was the first English language newspaper established in Afghanistan by the Afghan Government in February 1962. It was published daily, except on Fridays and holidays. The newspaper was circulated throughout the country. The Arthur Paul Afghanistan Collection in UNO Libraries’ Archives and Special Collections holds issues of the Kabul Times on microfilm as well as in digital format from 1962-1983. The department also holds a small sampling of paper issues.
Digitization of the Kabul Times was supported by a partnership with the U.S Army Training and Doctrine Command, Human Terrain System (HTS), Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, in 2007. Key to the development of this partnership was the completion of a data-sharing project known as the Microfilm Digitization Project, which digitized over 20 years of the daily Kabul Times.
