The British Institute in Eastern Africa (BIEA) Somalia Archive is one of a series of Collections from the BIEA. The main page for this series can be accessed from the menu on the left.

The Somalia Archive includes field notes, images and slides from an expedition directed by Neville Chittick between 1974 and 1984. His expedition covered Mogadishu and sites surrounding this large, historic city, as well as sites along the coast of Somalia.

This archive also includes a broad area of historical content relevant to the BIEA Digital Archives, such as aerial photographs of the region, photographs of the countryside, site maps, historical images of local architecture reflecting indigenous and Arabic influence on the city of Mogadishu, and Mogadishu street life.
