A date for your diary! This winter's South Asia Archive and Library Group conference will be hosted by the
Royal Asiatic Society on Friday 28th January 2011. On the theme of Borderlands we have presentations on early photography at the Raj's margins (Burma and Sri Lanka) from Andrew Jarvis (University of Cambridge), 19th century travellers' tales from the Himalayas from Dr Richard Axelby (SOAS), and a personal account of working in local Burmese archives from Dr Mandy Sadan (SOAS). There will also be an opportunity to view treasures from the Royal Asiatic Society's own collections, and hear a presentation from Burzine Waghmar (SOAS) on his linguistic research.
For further information and to book your place, please email
Helen Porter at the Royal Asiatic Society.
