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.
The University Digital Media Archive is a comprehensive repository featuring:
Historic Media Records: Key moments in the University's history — from its founding ceremonies to landmark academic events.
Visual Archives:
Thousands of curated photographs
Event videos, lectures, ceremonies, and campus milestones
Official portraits of academic and administrative staff
Press Release Image and Video Archive: A collection of official news stories, public statements, and media photography and video coverage issued by DOPR across decades.
Each piece tells a part of UOD’s collective story — a story of growth, innovation, resilience, and academic achievement.
The Digital Media Archive is more than a historical record; it is a living repository that:
Provides research material for students and scholars studying the evolution of higher education in Kurdistan and Iraq
Supports academic portfolios and university storytelling initiatives
Enhances curriculum development in history, media studies, and communication fields
Offers inspiration and context for future generations
Students, faculty, historians, and the public are all invited to engage with the archive to understand how UOD has grown into a hub of knowledge and societal leadership.
