The photographs and documents in this collection have been carefully scanned, researched, and assembled by the Jiyan Archives, alongside generous submissions from members of the global Kurdish community who share a commitment to preserving collective memory.

Presented with all rights reserved, these photographs and documents represent the generosity and conviction of those who have entrusted Jiyan with their family histories and personal archives. Together, they form a living record - an act of remembrance, resistance, and cultural pride.

This archival library was created and curated by Raz Xaidan, who also oversaw its digitisation and cataloguing.

Each submission is an act of love and resistance - offered by those who honour the strength, beauty, and resilience of Kurdish women, and who stand with us in ensuring their stories live on through every scanned image and remembered name. Her Bijît.
