We feel our site is unique in offering original pictures of the Maldives along with well-researched stories.
For anyone looking to do their own research into the country, we’re trying to compile a thorough list of English-language authors who’ve studied the atolls.
But, in addition to their work, there are many online reports and studies available for free. So, we thought we’d put as many as we could find here in the same place so you can search our database and learn more about the Maldives.
