The Anglo-Iraqi Studies Centre (AISC) is an academic and community project based
in London. AISC aims to be a point of contact in London for all knowledge about
Anglo-Iraqi studies. The centre is dedicated to gathering, presenting and
reviewing all material written in English about Iraq in the last two centuries
(1800 – 2000) and aims to bring together Iraqi and British communities through
the mediums of cultural events, knowledge presentations, outreach visits,
studies, workshops and sessions with academic professionals from Iraq and the
UK. The centre aims to play a key role with academic and public figures in the
UK to enhance public knowledge and understanding of Iraq, Anglo-Iraqi studies,
Iraqi-British connections, assisting the Iraqi-British community to rediscover
their identities thus enabling further positive integration of Iraqis into
British life. This website contains further information about the AISC, a list
of selected books published in English about Iraq, the full text of a selection
of English language books about Iraq, a photographic archive related to Iraq, a
list of publications by AISC’s staff and volunteers and video links to events by
AISC staff. The centre contains a library with more than 1,000 books and
periodicals published in English about Iraq and aims to collect as many English
language publications on Iraq as possible. These will be presented to the public
and also made available online. Through the mediums of cultural events,
knowledge presentations, workshops, studies and outreach visits the centre aims
to enhance the education of the public and British/Iraqi communities and assist
Iraqi-British citizens’ further positive integration into UK life.
