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.
Unlike almost everywhere else in Palestine, village women in the Nablus and Tulkarm areas, between the north and the centre of the country, wore dresses generally without embroidery: of white cotton or linen, their only ornament coloured stripes running the length of the gown. Why they differed from the rest is unclear.
