YEMEN WEBDATE is divided into several parts, most accessible from the main page.   Online web pages, scholarly and general, are provided in Yemen Links.   You will find help for learning about the history of Yemen. You can also find out which organizations and journals deal mainly with Yemen.   If you are interested in Yemeni Culture, we have pages on art, fiction, humor, and poetry. There is also a Qatalog for information about qat or khat (Catha edulis) in Yemen.   For published references on Yemen, you can go to the annual listing (by author) in Index Yemenicus or a topical listing of relevant references in Bibliography. The filmography provides a comprehensive listing of films about Yemen.
