Instead, this writing is meant to provide enough essential background and references for scholars planning to undertake their own research in these files. The following description of the CRRC and the Baʿth Party records is by no means a definitive story of how the archives came to be. The data within the CRRC is providing military historians deeper insight into the Iraqi military, thus helping scholars break away from U.S.-centric ways of thinking about Iraqi military history. In the same regard, these papers also show how Iraqi communities responded, contested, and even survived Baʿth methods of control and coercion. They offer new perspectives into authoritarian regimes-how they operate and how they manage control over their military and citizens.

And yet, for Iraqi scholars in particular, major research within Iraqi collections is now possible in the United States.

Long overdue, this research is elevating voices that are often overshadowed or neglected by Western sources. Historians and scholars are continuing to explore Middle Eastern archives and repositories.
