Al-Uqair Port memory location reexamination
The article emphasizes the importance of reconstructing the Saudi narrative by collecting the memory of a specific place, namely the Al-Aqeer Port on the Al-Hasa coast, as a practical model demonstrating how to capture and document the history of a location through documents, photographs, testimonies, and human sources both within the Kingdom and abroad. It highlights the necessity of linking Al-Aqeer’s history to the daily lives of people, trade, and regional and international communication, alongside official documents and foreign archives, especially British ones, which help form a comprehensive picture of the port's history. Additionally, it stresses the importance of collecting oral histories and family records and integrating them with official documents to revive the life of the place, rather than merely preserving old buildings. This approach aims to make Al-Aqeer a living model that reflects the intricate network of historical, cultural, and economic ties of the Kingdom before the oil era.
