The British School of Archaeology in Iraq (BSAI) was founded in 1932, in memory of the renowned explorer and diplomat, Gertrude Lowthian Bell. The School's excavations at sites such as Nimrud, Abu Salabikh and Samarra gave unprecedented insights into diverse periods of Iraq's past. In 2007, the School was renamed The British Institute for the Study of Iraq (Gertrude Bell Memorial).

The Archaeological Joint Committee was set up by the British Academy in 1918, at the request of the Foreign Office, with the object of securing proper organisation of the control of antiquities. Its intention was to represent British archaeology as a whole.
