Published Jan 16, 2019

Texas A&M at Qatar students hosted a booth at Education City United to promote its newly launched website, http://qatarhistories.org/. The online archival footage and recorded history celebrates and documents Qatar's history. Fay AlSulaiti, one of Qatar Histories project members, said, “The project was born a few years ago, and every year students update and develop it, and we participated in the Qatar National Day celebration at Education City United to display its content to the public and to promote it.”

She added that the site offers the popular history of education in Qatar from 1950 to 1970 using pictures and interviews. She noted that the aim of the presentation is to reach out to the community, and to familiarize them with the most important national and historical events that the country experienced, adding that the team is promoting the project through social media websites. Finally, she pointed out that the project is available in both English and Arabic, which creates a better interaction with the public.
