Abdullah Saeed Abdullah is from the depopulated village of Lifta, located in Jerusalem District, where he was born on 14 April 1942. He studied at at-Tur Elementary School, located on the Mount of Olives, then moved to the Islamic Orphanage School, where he completed the remainder of his primary education and pursued his studies in the industrial section, specializing in the profession of printing and binding until he graduated in June 1962. Later, he travelled to work in Kuwait and joined the Kuwaiti Ministry of Information Press. Years later and coinciding with the outbreak of the 1990-1991 Gulf War, Abdullah returned to Palestine.

Abdullah Saeed Abdallah keeps what reminds him of his father, the shaheed Saeed Othman Abdullah Hussein Isa, who was murdered on 13 April 1948 in the battle of "Sheikh Jarrah" or "the attack on the Hadassah convoy" led by the fighters of the "Jaysh al-Jihad al-Muqaddas" (Army of the Holy Struggle). Accordingly, the collection contains several photographs that reflect the normal life of the shaheed Isa, such as his portraits and photographs of him with his wife and son, and documents the nature of the Palestinian heritage dress in general and Jerusalemite in particular. In addition, the collection includes an issue of ad-Difaa Newspaper published on 23 March 1949.
