DIGITAL MEDIA ARCHIVE

Preserving UOD's Legacy — A Gateway to Our Academic Journey

University Digital Media Archive by DOPR

The University Digital Media Archive, maintained by the Directorate of Media and Public Relations (DOPR), is one of the most valuable historical and academic resources available at the University of Duhok (UOD). Spanning over 30 years of media coverage, documentation, and storytelling, this archive captures the evolution of our institution from its founding days to its current standing as a leading university in the region.

As part of UOD’s Strategic Digital Transformation Initiative, the DOPR team has meticulously digitized hundreds of hours of videos, press materials, and other multimedia records as well as photographs. Today, the Digital Media Archive serves not only as a visual treasure trove but also as a dynamic research tool for our academic community and external stakeholders.
