Presentation at the Preserving African Manuscripts Conference



The 2010 Conference on the Preservation of Ancient Manuscripts in Africa will be held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on December 17-19, 2010.

My presentation is on the morning of Friday the 17th at a panel on "Sustainable Institutional and Financial Capacity Building." During the afternoon, I'm attending a session where I and the other panelists will discuss capacity building with other interested participants.

It looks like the following morning my group is one of three working groups that will make recommendations, present findings from discussions, and make proposals for solutions. On Sunday we'll make resolutions and final recommendations.

During the afternoon we will have a tour of Addis Ababa National Museum and Lucy; historical sites and churches; Institute for Ethiopian Studies; and "heritage shopping."

Sounds like a great week!
