The Award publishes the proceedings of its international and regional seminars as well as cyclical monographs recording the recipients and discussions of each Award cycle. Most Award publications are available in English; some are also published in Arabic, Turkish, French, and Chinese. 

The Award publications are now available at the Archnet Digital Library, which is an on-line resource focusing on architecture, urban design, urban development, and related issues in the Muslim world. The site is a collaboration between the Aga Khan Trust for Culture and the Massachuetts Institute of Technology, but many other institutions have contributed to building the database.
