The National Defense University’s Conflict Records Research Center and the Wilson Center's Cold War International History Project are pleased to announce an upcoming conference on the international history of the Iran-Iraq war. The conference, The Iran-Iraq War: The View from Baghdad, will take place from the 25th to 27th of October, 2011, at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, DC.
The Iran-Iraq War: The View from Baghdad will be centered on newly available documentary evidence from Iraqi archives stored digitally at the CRRC and available to researchers at NDU.
These new materials, including high-level Iraqi government documents and recorded conversations between Saddam Hussein and his top deputies shed new light on the origins of the conflict, its global and regional Cold War context, the decision-making process of Iraqi leadership, and a wide variety of other topics.
Please consider joining us for what will surely be an informative and rich discussion of this significant new source of archival material.

100 Questions/13
We asked several researchers and activists in the field of oral history to express their views on oral history questions. The names of each participant are listed at the beginning of their answers, and the text of all answers will be published on this portal by the end of the week. The goal of this project is to open new doors to an issue and promote scientific discussions in the field of oral history.Oral History of 40 Years
One of the main hypotheses regarding the reason for the growth and expansion of oral history in the modern era relates to the fact that oral history is the best tool for addressing lesser-known topics of contemporary history.

After the completion of interview sessions, the original recordings are archived, the interviews are transcribed, proofread, and re-listened to. If the material possesses the qualities required for publication in the form of an article or a book, the editing process must begin. In general, understanding a verbatim transcription of an interview is often not straightforward and requires editing so that it may be transformed into a fluent, well-documented text that is easy to comprehend.100 Questions/8
