The New York Times plans to return thousands of documents its journalists "recovered" from Iraq.

The newspaper, which came under fire for removing the documents from the country, also said it would digitise the files and make them available to the public.

According to a statement on Thursday, NYT correspondent Rukmini Callimachi, who has been covering the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS), noted that the newspaper is "seeking a partner to digitize" the documents and make them publicly available online.

The database would include at least 15,000 pages of documents Callimachi and her team obtained after ISIL's defeat in Iraq.

The NYT also said it would return the original documents to the Iraqi government via its embassy in Washington, DC.
