Palestine: From the River to the Sea

The Land of Hope and Pain
Documenting Palestine: Land and People

This exhibition marks the 25th anniversary of the Palestine Land Society (PLS). Founded in London in 2000, PLS has spent a quarter-century at the forefront of historical preservation, dedicated to the meticulous documentation of Palestine’s land and its people.

A Quarter-Century of Scholarly Excellence

The Palestine Land Society is world-renowned for its academic rigor and cartographic precision. Their body of work serves as a definitive record of Palestinian history, including:

  • The Atlas of Palestine (1917–1966): A 700-page volume published in Arabic, English, Spanish, and Russian.

  • The Atlas of Palestine (1871–1877): A critical historical record documenting the landscape prior to the establishment of the first colonies.

  • Over one million copies of Palestinian wall maps (70x100cm) have been printed and distributed globally in various formats.

  • With over 500 articles, numerous books, and frequent participation in international conferences, PLS is a primary resource for researchers worldwide.

  • PLS is accredited to the UN-Palestine Committee and maintains active working relationships with leading global institutions and universities.

     

    The Exhibition Experience

    We invite you to engage with the history of Palestine through an immersive, multi-sensory journey:
