Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS BAGHDAD PD 2019 010
The grant opportunity titled "Digitalizing the Kurdish Heritage Institute Collection" (Funding Opportunity Number: DOS BAGHDAD PD 2019 010) is a U.S. Department of State program administered through the U.S. Mission to Iraq, specifically the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad Public Affairs Office. It is a discretionary grant aimed at creating a comprehensive digital preservation and public access system for the Kurdish Heritage Institute (KHI). At its core, the project is designed to safeguard Kurdish cultural heritage materials from loss or deterioration by digitizing them and organizing them within an online portal that can be used by the general public and specialized audiences such as academics, students, and researchers interested in the region's culture and history.
The funded project is expected to deliver an end-to-end digitization program rather than a limited scanning effort. The scope of materials is substantial and clearly defined: approximately 15,000 special books, 3,000 culturally significant photographs, and about 23,000 audio and video files. The awardee is expected to present a plan that not only converts these materials into digital formats, but also addresses archival organization, documentation, and long-term preservation considerations so that distinctive and authentic cultural items are protected against disappearance, damage, or fragmentation over time. Alongside preservation, a major goal is accessibility, meaning the digitized holdings must be made available through a dedicated website for the institute, effectively turning KHI's collection into a searchable, usable online resource.
The project timeline is expected to be 12 months, with the stated endpoint being that all materials have been digitized and are publicly accessible online by the end of the performance period. The opportunity also fits into a broader diplomatic and cultural framework: it explicitly connects to the U.S.-Iraq Strategic Framework Agreement and the shared commitment of the Iraqi and U.S. governments to support partnerships between Iraqi and U.S. institutions in order to protect Iraqi cultural heritage. In practical terms, that framing signals that the project is not only a technical modernization effort, but also part of a larger cultural preservation and international cooperation agenda.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on March 5, 2019, with an original application deadline of April 26, 2019. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $150,000, and the program anticipates making a single award. The listing categorizes the activity area broadly as "Other," and eligibility is also broadly described as "Others," indicating applicants would need to consult the opportunity's specific eligibility clarification to confirm who can apply. Overall, the grant is focused on building durable digital infrastructure and workflows for KHI, converting a large and diverse set of cultural materials into a structured online archive that preserves heritage while expanding access for public learning and research.Apply for DOS BAGHDAD PD 2019 010
