Please visit the Institute for the Visualization of History for a full catalogue of image types and formats (click on Products). NB: It with utter dismay and deep sorrow that we provide the following link to the ISIS/Da'esh online video showing their destruction of the Northwest Palace, Nimrud (be advised this is an awful heart-wrenching display): http://youtu.be/PT85j1xA3d8 Additional images and a summary of possible intentions can be found at National Geographic online: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/04/150414-why-islamic-state-destroyed-assyrian-palace-nimrud-iraq-video-isis-isil-archaeology/ These videos appear genuine, and if they are, then the Northwest Palace no longer exists (except as our digital surrogate).

April 2010--It is with sadness that Learning Sites mourns the passing of Samuel M. Paley, pioneering Assyriologist whose vision of moving archaeological analyses and data dissemination into the digital age gave rise to the Nimrud Citadel interactive publication project. The virtual reality re-creation of the Northwest Palace will continue to expand in his memory.
