Iqbal Academy Pakistan was established in 1951, under the administrative authority of the Education Department of the Central Government of Pakistan in Karachi. After a few years, when the capital of Pakistan shifted to Islamabad, the government decided to shift Iqbal Academy from Karachi to Lahore, as Allama Muhammad Iqbal, under whose name the academy is titled, belongs to Lahore. In 1976 the Iqbal Academy shifted to 116-McLeod Road, Lahore (old residence of Allama Muhammad Iqbal), and the Federal Government of Pakistan gifted a piece of land at a major estate in Lahore behind Avari Hotels and opposite to Faletti's Hotel, to build a state-of-the-art building named Aiwan-e-Iqbal, a monument and memorial in tribute to Allama Muhammad Iqbal. In 1996 the building formerly inaugurated by Prime Minister of Islamic Republic of Pakistan Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif and Iqbal Academy also shifted to the sixth floor of Aiwan-e-Iqbal. Iqbal Academy Library is one of the oldest and richest libraries in the world that have specialized in Iqbal Studies. Its collection of books on Iqbal studies and related subjects cover the major international languages as well as the regional languages of Pakistan. The back files of important and rare periodicals augment its book holdings. It not only provides academic logistics support to the research projects of the Academy but also extends research and reference facilities to a large number of students, teachers and Iqbal scholars every year.
