In the 1930s, an archaeological team at the Penn Museum captured nearly 300 photographs of Yezidi life in northern Iraq — weddings, pilgrimages, laughing children.

They present on their work at Penn's Middle East Center on April 23, 5:30–7:00 pm ET.https://mec.sas.upenn.edu/events/2026/04/23/sersal-project-digital-preservation-resistance-after-yezidi-genocide#DigitalPreservation #GLAM #Archives #CulturalHeritage #AcademicMastodon #UVic #Kula
