The Ruhi al-Khalidi collection is composed in part of vocabulary collections (Arabic-English lexicons organised into lists), notes taken from various works, including those of Ibn Khaldun, letters, a book inventory, a catalogue of library works and at least two diaries containing a succession of collages. The documents identified were produced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. One of the volumes in the collection, entitled "Catalogue of the books of Ruhi Bey El Khalidi at the Khalidieh Library, Jerusalem" (Rwhi_25/14), records in writing a large collection of printed works from Ruhi Khalidi's personal library. This catalogue would have been produced after Ruhi Khalidi's death or at the end of his life and reflects his varied interests, with several titles relating to religion, history and travel, particularly to Bordeaux, where Ruhi Khalidi was consul, and to the Gironde. This collection is kept at the Khalidi Library in Jerusalem.
