Saad Eskander's Iraq diary

Dr Saad EskanderFrom November 2006 to July 2007, the British Library posted blogs by Dr Saad Eskander (picture), the director of the Iraq National Library and Archive (INLA).

His diary caught the public imagination. It provided a vivid and powerful account of professional and academic life unthinkable to most users of the British Library – an institution very familiar to Dr Eskander while he was researching his PhD in London a few years ago.

This page carries links to all his diary entries, the latest news on Dr Eskander's achievements, and the progress of the Iraq National Library.

Much of it is good news, but the situation is still very challenging.
