Elämä arkistolaitoksissa ei aina ole helppoa. Lukaiskaapa Irakin kansallisarkiston johtaja Saad Eskanderin päiväkirjaa. Tarinat aukeavat kuukausittain Wordiin.
Esimerkki kuukauden takaa: "One of the old librarians, Muna, who suffers from heart problems, informed me that yesterday (Sunday 7 Jan.) a group of armed men stopped the car she was traveling in. The armed men asked all the passengers for their IDs. After reading her full name, they ordered her to get out of the car. Her full name clearly indicates that Muna was Shi'i. Luckily, other Sunni passengers intervened and succeeded in persuading the armed men not to kidnap her. It was a terrifying moment for Muna. She asked me to give her a permission to stay at home for a few days."
