The Palestinian Poverty Atlas is a WMS map that uses unit record data from the Palestinian general Population and Housing Census of 2017 and PECS 2016. The PECS is a national household expenditure survey conducted by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) that collects information on a range of topics including food and non-food expenditures, core data on socio-economic and health characteristics, dwelling conditions, and labor activities and incomes. It is used to calculate official poverty rates for the Palestinian Territories. The Palestinian Poverty Atlas includes a technical report and two interactive dashboards (with one or two indicators, e.g., population, poverty, index, unemployment rate, home employment, share of children out-of-school). The Atlas differentiates between regions, governorates, and localities, with depictions as maps or bar graphs. Interactive dashboards are used to make the poverty map more user-friendly and accessible. In addition to indicators of poverty and inequality, the dashboards also visualize many different indicators from Census 2017 (such as employment, access to services, etc). All indicators of poverty and inequality are visualized as standalone indicators, as well as with other indicators of living standards and welfare. The Jerusalem governorate has been excluded from the Poverty Atlas.

From the founding charter to 20th-century reports on the effects of smoking, there is a wealth of material on the RCP's role in relation to contemporary medical advances. The RCP was founded so that physicians could be formally licensed to practise and those who were not qualified could be exposed and punished. There are many archive records defining the RCP’s changing role in setting standards in medical practice. RCP members have always collected manuscripts and papers on a wide range of medical and non-medical topics. As a result the archives contain an eclectic range of 14th- to 19th-century manuscripts. Personal papers of past fellows from the 16th century to the 20th century provide glimpses into the personal lives and social concerns of many distinguished physicians.
