The Mosul Heritage Library (MHL) a not-for-profit library & research center located in the heart of Old Mosul. We are dedicated to preserving, documenting, and studying the city’s intellectual, scientific, and literary heritage.

The website is a work-in-progress and some links or parts of it may not function properly yet – but it provides the basic information visitors may need and will continue to expand and improve over time.
