Résumé en anglais
Active since 2009, the Iraqi Institute for the Conservation of Antiquities and Heritage in Erbil,Iraq is a unique, global collaboration that trains Iraqi cultural heritage specialists in international-standard heritage conservation practice. In its earliest years, the Iraqi Institute partnered with American academic institutions to deliver long-form coursework in architectural conservation, collections conservation, and archaeological site preservation. The Institute has also hosted shorter courses offered by other nations and institutions, most notably the Italian Foreign Ministry and the World Monuments Fund. After the spread of ISIS into Iraq in 2014, the Iraqi Institute expanded its mission to include emergencypreparedness and disaster response approaches. In 2015, several organizations partnered to deliver a short course in the safeguarding and recovery of heritage in conflict areas. Based on their role in that successfulcourse, the Smithsonian Institution returned to the Iraqi Institute in 2016 to deliver a 22-week program that focused on the heritage conservation fundamentals needed to effectively prepare for, and respond toconflict-driven damage to heritage.
A highlight of all coursework at the Institute is the importance of heritage in civil society in all contexts,including stabilization and recovery from disasters. Additionally, the Iraqi Institute welcomes students of all religious, ethnic and gender identities from across Iraq, and connects them to Iraqi and international experts who teach the courses. In this way, the Institute serves as a safe space for Iraqis to learn about each other while learning ways to improve the management of their own irreplaceable cultural heritage,and promotes peace and understanding between Iraqis and their international colleagues.
This paper will highlight the Institute’s origins through the lens of its latest collaboration with theSmithsonian: an effort to directly support Iraqis in planning for the stabilization and recovery of the Nimrud archaeological site.
