Abstract

This piece presents an exploration of the conditions of the remaining archives and libraries in Nineveh in the aftermath of Islamic State (IS). Civilians preserved, recovered and restored important sources and libraries that were at risk of being looted or destroyed by IS or damaged or lost during the 2016 liberation campaign.
