Between May and July 2025 ACHCO staff undertook a process of assessment, cleaning, photography and registration of artefacts stored in store-rooms in the citadel of Herat, Qala Ikhtyaruddin. Among the items found in these stores are architectural elements, marble panels and gravestones that shed light on the history of Herat and the region. A total of 219 artefacts have been registered on inventory sheets that include information on characteristics/function, material, dimensions, condition and (where possible) provenance, along with photographs. Copies of the resulting inventory have been delivered to ACHCO’s counterparts in the Department of Information and Culture in Herat as well as the Ministry in Kabul and will be made available to other relevant organisations in the country and abroad upon request.
