A delegation of Iraqis who are dedicated to preserving their nation's cultural heritage gained a new perspective—while sharing their own—during a recent visit to Delaware. The University of Delaware’s leadership in the Iraqi Institute for the Conservation of Antiquities and Heritage is just one of the collaborative ways in which UD art conservators are helping to preserve cultural treasures in the Middle East.
