QADIYA is an independent, noncommercial community project: an archive of Palestine’s history, built for the cause and open to everyone.
This is an early pilot. Its records were gathered with AI help from cited sources and are still being checked, so don’t rely on them yet, and tell us if something is wrong.
We’re looking for people and organisations to build it with us: historians, archivists, translators, designers, developers, and partners who can support the work.
Gaza was one of the towns where, until the British Mandate, cotton and wool cloth was woven by hand for the dresses women embroidered; across Gaza weavers still make brightly coloured cotton rugs, striped and geometric, on wooden looms.
