História administrativa

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).

História administrativa

The Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland was founded by the eminent Sanskrit scholar Sir Henry Thomas Colebrooke on the 15th March 1823. It received its Royal Charter from King George IV on the 11th August 1824 'for the investigation of subjects connected with and for the encouragement of science, literature and the arts in relation to Asia'. It continues as a forum for those who are interested in the languages, cultures and history of Asia to meet and exchange ideas.
