Introduction

King Abdul-Aziz Al Saoud Foundation for Islamic Studies and Human Science - Casablanca is a documentation, scientific and cultural institution inaugurated in 1985. It saw the light of day thanks to the initiative to the late King Abdullah Ibn Abdul-Aziz Al Saoud. This institution meets a need in terms of information and documentation which was strongly felt among the research community and the different actors in Casablanca, in particular, and in Morocco in general. The Foundation is established as a Moroccan law partnership. It is a corporate body of public utility. It is managed by a board of directors made up of personalities belonging to diverse sectors. The rational behind constituting this institution is stimulating the scientific research in social sciences, culture and development of expertise in the fields of documentation and information.
