S’il y a une chose que la pandémie a révélée depuis bientôt un an, ce sont bien les failles de notre société. Tel un méga projecteur de mille watts braqué en plein sur nos talons d’Achille collectifs : le système de santé, le traitement des personnes âgées, la dépendance sur l’approvisionnement extérieur, le système scolaire, le retard des entreprises sur leur présence efficace en ligne, la…

TORONTO — Researchers are embarking on an ambitious project to bring part of Iraq's destroyed heritage back to life.

Over the past few years the world has watched as the Islamic State has destroyed historical monuments and committed acts of genocide in Iraq and Syria. While the group labels itself "Islamic," they've been destroying both Islamic and Christian holy sites along with sites that predate the founding of both religions, said archaeologist Clemens Reichel, a curator at Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum, in a presentation he gave last spring.

The Canadian Centre for Epigraphic Documents (CCED), located at the University of Toronto, is currently working with the Harrak Collection, the largest corpus of Iraqi Syriac and Garshuni inscriptions in the world. These date between the 7th and the 20th centuries. Most are from Mosul and the surrounding region of Nineveh.

The CCED expects two new collections this month: Syrian Syriac inscriptions dating from the 10th century and Turkish Syriac inscriptions dating from the 3rd century.

The CCED needs the help of ACSSU students from the following fields: - Web - Translation (English to Syriac, Arabic, German & French) - Historical - Social Media Marketing - Graphic Design

If you possess any of these skills, or simply want to help the CCED in this great initiative, please do not hesitate to contact ACSSU via personal message on our page.

This is a great opportunity for students working in the field of history, religion, art, information studies and other related areas, or for anyone who is interested in preserving our culture and history.
