This museum is in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States of America. The Omani Embassy in Washington generously assisted with its reopening in 2013. Previously, the organization had been closed due to insufficient funding. "George Camp Keiser," the institute's founder, established the library in 1947 along with the Middle East Institute. It was one of its most significant scientific contributions.

As of 2008, it provided abundant knowledge and information to assist researchers and scholars.

These resources cover a wide range of geographical regions, including all Arab countries, Iran, Afghanistan, and Turkey related to Middle Eastern topics. In addition, various information sources are available in the library, including Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Old Turkish, English, French, German, Spanish, and Urdu. Other languages, including Hebrew and Syriac, are also represented.

Many manuscripts are also in various languages, including some rare Arabic manuscripts. In addition to general collections, the library has a rare book collection, an Omani collection, a collection of biographies of Arab celebrities and writers, and general reference collections.
