Biographical History

Rom Landau (1899-1974) was a sculptor, author, educator and Arabist. Although born in Poland, he became a British citizen and served as a volunteer in the Royal Air Force during World War II. His particular area of interest was Morocco, and he authored numerous works about Morocco and the Middle East, mainly in the 1950s and 1960s. He taught Islamic Studies at the College of the Pacific in Stockton, CA, and was also an artist and art critic. His extensive knowledge of Arabic issues earned him a place on the Arab committee of the Intelligence Department of the British Foreign Office.

Scope and Contents of the Collection

Note: Portions of this collection, particularly Landau's personal journals, contain representations of racial and ethnic prejudices that were conventional during Landau's life, although no less harmful and inaccurate than they are today. This material is preserved and presented for its historic and research value. Researchers may find some of this content objectionable.

The Rom Landau Papers contains biographical material, correspondence, memorabilia, printed material, recordings, and writings. Although Landau's particular interest was Morocco, the collection also includes material on Algeria, Jordan, Iraq, Israel, Syria, Lebanon, Turkey and Palestine.

Biographical material comprises biographical sketches, c.v.'s, press clippings related to Landau, and printed material related to public appearances.

Correspondence begins with Landau's folder of "Letters from important correspondents." The remainder is divided into personal, business, and legal. Persons with significant correspondence are foldered first by name; the remainder is as Landau had it, chronologically. Business correspondence begins with Landau's publishers; the remainder is as Landau had it, chronologically. Legal and financial material includes Landau's British passport, travel papers, and his will

Memorabilia comprises personal items such as awards and honors, artifacts from the Middle East, date books, Landau's personal diaries and typed diary pages, sketchbooks, and hundreds of photographs of Morocco, the Middle East, and Landau at various events. There are also a number of scrapbooks, including several that consist of clippings of Landau's articles that appeared in various German publicstions.

Printed material contains clippings, a few books including A Muslim's Guide to Britain, material from the University of the Pacific, and reviews of Landau's books.

Recordings contains reel-to-reel tape audio recordings made by Landua of the songs, music and dance of various countries in the Middle East, and of some of his radio interviews, lectures and other speaking engagements, along with one apparently professional production, King Mohammed V by Leo Diner Films. There are also home-made recordings of opera singers and performances.

Writings consists of notes, research material, drafts, proofs, and other content for Landau’s articles, books, lectures, a few letters to the editor and a few reviews of books by others, and one short story. There are also subject files containing notes and research material on a number of topics, including Islam, Morocco, and religion, as well as several folders pertaining to Landau's political intelligence work with the British government during World War II.
