The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad is pleased to announce availability of funding through the Public Affairs Office (PA) for a project to build an online portal for Kurdish Heritage Institute (KHI) to store, archive, and document Kurdish cultural heritage materials and make the archives available to the public including academics, students, researchers, and those who are interested in culture of the region.

The Governments of Iraq and the United States are committed through the U.S.-Iraq Strategic Framework Agreement to the establishment of affiliations between Iraqi and U.S. institutions to protect Iraqi Cultural Heritage.
