He is the author of the book, "The Western Galilee Coastal Plains in the 1900's" published in 1975. This collection of photographs provides a glimpse into the streams of the Western Galilee; for example Nahal Kziv, Hagaaton and Hane'eman, as well as facilities for drinking water, irrigation of agricultural fields through canals and more. The album provides a glimpse into the landscapes, vegetation on the banks of the streams, orchards and fruit trees as well as pictures of the cities of Acre and Shfaram. The photographs were taken by Shukri Araf during the 1960's as part of the requirements for his seminar with Professor Yehoshua Ben Aryeh, in the Department of Geography at Haifa University (1967). Some of the photographs were published in his book, "The Western Galilee Coastal Plains in the 1900's". The photographs were given to the archives at Yad Ben-Zvi by Professor Yehoshua Ben-Aryeh, with the permission of Dr. Shukri Araf. اقرأ أكثر
