Our Mission
Archive Iraq is an open access, digital collection of primary and secondary source materials of Iraqi history for any and all who care to learn. We at Archive Iraq are an international, multilingual network of scholars who strive to create, recover, and maintain collective memory, fill gaps in cultural and historical records, and create open access educational materials that offer an inclusive, holistic, and corrective account that lends itself to community efforts for accountability and justice.
