Library is an essential and integral part of any educational institution. Therefore, the Centre will have its own library which will be accessible to scholars and researchers for reference or borrowing. There is a hope to receive a good collection of books from our retired or families of our deceased professors whose corpuses consists of some rare books on Gandhāra Civilization. Initially the library will be established in one of the rooms in the first floor of the Khyber Union Hall.

Museum

Museum is not only a place which care for collection of objects but it gives the opportunities to have a direct contact between the visitors and their past and bring them close to the things they only heard about.
