Established in 1994, Ebdaa Cultural Center is a popular community organization in Dheisheh Palestinian Refugee Camp in Bethlehem. It serves more than 2,000 children, youth, men and women annually, and provides job and income-generating opportunities for some families in the Camp. Ebdaa's mission is to create a positive atmosphere for Camp residents to help them develop creativity and leadership skills through a range of social, cultural and educational activities. Ebdaa believes that empowering the most vulnerable individuals in society through skills training in various fields provides a space for Palestinian refugees to activate their role in society and participate in meeting the needs of the public. As a result, Ebdaa instils a culture of democracy and acceptance of others, away from all forms of prejudice, while its objectives are a compass for all activities and show how Ebdaa acts inside and outside the Camp.

The Ebdaa Cultural Center Collection contains documents and photographs, most of which covered scenes from the Dheisheh Palestinian Refugee Camp since its establishment when the Camp merely consisted of tents, or what was known as “the UNRWA rooms”, which is the initial form of construction established by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) from 1957 until the beginning of the First Intifada 1987 to 1995. Most of the documents are clippings from daily newspapers of news related to the Center's activities, such as the participation of football, basketball and volleyball teams in local and international competitions and matches, and others about activities held by the Center for children and women.
