Iraq National Library Destruction: The Incredible Fight To Save Iraq's Collective Memory (PHOTOS) In the second issue of the magazine Document Journal<http://documentjournal.com/>, art historian Zainab Bahrani gives a first-hand account of the destruction of the National Library and State Archives of Iraq, an institution that collected thousands of historical documents, legal papers, manuscripts, clay tablets. In the spring of 2003, the building housing the library and archives was left in rubble. All that remained were "burned books transformed to ashes, drenched and pulverized fragments of documents scattered on the ground," Bahraini writes. http://huff.to/ZjG2QE Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/05/iraq-national-library-destruction_n_2813825.html?utm_hp_ref=tw See if people are clicking on this link: http://huff.to/ZjG2QE+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA [log in to unmask] Richmond, Va http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
