About Us
Definition and Identity
“Encyclopedia of Syria” is an independent and comprehensive digital knowledge platform, established to be the primary and trusted reference for every researcher and reader interested in Syrian affairs. We are not just a news website or a blog; rather, we are an integrated documentary project that seeks to archive history, protect heritage, and paint an accurate picture of Syrian geography and society, far from political polarization or ideological biases.
Our Vision: Preserving Identity for Future Generations
Amidst the rapid pace of events and the abundance of misinformation, a pressing need emerged to create a solid knowledge repository that preserves the “Syrian narrative” with complete impartiality and objectivity. Our vision is to provide the world, and future Syrian generations, with a pure record of their past and present, serving as a bridge connecting the past to the future.
What Does the Encyclopedia Cover? (Scope of Work)
At “Encyclopedia of Syria,” we rely on a precise and comprehensive classification structure covering all aspects of life, including:
- History and Documentation: Starting from ancient Syria and the cradle of civilizations, through the milestones of modern Syria, down to the accurate scientific documentation of wars, battles, incidents, and disasters that formed historical turning points.
- Geography and Environment: A comprehensive survey of Syrian cities and villages, the study of physical geography, and the documentation of biodiversity (flora and fauna) to present a panoramic view of the Syrian land.
- Heritage and Culture: Protecting identity by recording tangible heritage (landmarks and monuments) and intangible heritage (arts, customs, and traditions), in addition to highlighting the deep-rooted Syrian culture.
- People and Society: Documenting the biographies of prominent figures, monitoring societal development, and covering the finance, business, science, and technology sectors as part of the country’s renaissance.
Our Values: Neutrality and Credibility First
We believe at “Encyclopedia of Syria” that knowledge is a right for all, and that truth is indivisible. Therefore, all our materials are subject to a strict editorial policy based on:
- Referring to primary sources and respected references.
- Separating opinion from news, and analysis from historical information.
- Respecting the reader’s intellect by providing documented and objective information.
Independence and Funding
To ensure the continuity of our neutrality, we would like to assure our valued visitors that “Encyclopedia of Syria” is a fully independent project. We do not receive any funding or donations from any governmental, partisan, or international organizations. The operation and technical development of the site rely exclusively on advertising revenues (Google AdSense), which guarantees us complete freedom in editorial decision-making.
