Prelude To Iraqi National Library and Archives
(Saad Eskander,DG,Iraqi National Library and Archives)

Iraq National Library and Archive (INLA) occupies a central position in the development of Iraqi culture through collecting and recording all types of local publications (e.g. books, journals, newspaper and maps) and documenting official and semi-official files and private papers. Thus, the INLA is the principal source of information and data on Iraq’s political, social, economic, administrative and cultural life, which scholars and university students use for their own researches.

On behalf of my staff, I would like to express my gratitude for the generous manner in which you have backed our efforts to rebuild Iraq National Library and Archive (INLA). We truly appreciate outside support and assistance, which have enabled us to move forward in a relatively short period and under extremely difficult security conditions.

By documenting all sorts of information on Baghdad’s history, culture, economy etc, the project seeks above all to preserve the modern memory of our illustrious capital city and to enable Iraqi scholars and university students to have an easy and a direct access to all kinds of information that they require for their researches.
