Serving to help illustrate these reports, the following is also now

Pictures of Damaged Libraries in Iraq.
The photographs presented here document damage to libraries in Iraq
during and after the war in April 2003. Most of them are provided by
Nabil al-Tikriti, a doctoral candidate in the Department
of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at the University of
Chicago. They were taken during his trip to Baghdad on 25-31 May
2003. They accompany his report: Iraq Manuscript Collections,
Archives, & Libraries: Situation Report, dated 8 June 2003. The
remaining photographs were taken by McGuire Gibson, Professor of
Mesopotamian Archaeology, The Oriental Institute, University of
Chicago. He was a member of the UNESCO team which visited Baghdad in
May 2003.
