Hello,

I am an archivist and member of the Kate Sharpley Library and am doing a
research project into the history and current collection practices of archives
and libraries collecting anarchist material. I would very much appreciate your
participation in the below survey, you answers will help give me a much better
picture of the universe of current practices. Please also consider spreading
this questionnaire far and wide. The results of this survey and research will
be published and shared with all interested parties.

Copies of archival and audio-visual items from the anti-apartheid and southern Africa solidarity collection of the IISH will be transferred to South Africa. The archival transfer project is funded by the Dutch embassy in Pretoria and runs from October 2012 until April 2013. The main recipients will be the Archives of the African National Congress, the South African History Archives (SAHA) and the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory, both in Johannesburg.

On Monday, November 5, 2012 the Open Society Archives at Central European University in Budapest is organizing a one day workshop to exchange knowledge in the field of digitizing cultural heritage collections in non-state institutions in Central Europe, and to share best practices on digital collection management, digital preservation and providing online access.
