Stretching back to an era where high-level analysis for businesses and embassies operating in the region were only published in paper form, these searchable pdfs provide a wealth of analysis that is not available elsewhere.
1979, the earliest available online volume, focuses exclusively on 14 issues of the Saudi Arabia Newsletter, while in 1980 the archive includes the final 11 issues of Middle East Newsletter (the early name of Gulf States Newsletter) which routinely carried articles on countries in North Africa and the fringes of the Middle East region, including Turkey and Sudan.

GSN has a library of succinct family trees on all 13 Gulf ruling families. Alongside a main graphic the trees have notes on the family’s history, succession issues and key personalities.
"GSN stands out as one of the most important sources on Arab Gulf affairs.
Each issue is packed with superlative analyses as well as thorough coverage of the conservative Arab Gulf monarchies.
Critical and judicious, the newsletter is also honest, fair, and unbiased. It falls in the 'must read' category. Cover to cover."
