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).

It continues as a forum for those who are interested in the languages, cultures and history of Asia to meet and exchange ideas.
