      BISI: our past, present and future
      
    
  
  
      
    
      We were founded in 1932, as the British School of Archaeology in Iraq, in memory of the renowned explorer and diplomat Gertrude Bell.
      

      The BSAI carried out excavations in Iraq until the 1990s, offering insights into Iraq’s pre-historic and ancient past.
      

      Today our academic coverage has expanded to cover humanities and social sciences research on ancient, medieval, modern and contemporary Iraq.?
