I pointed out at the last meeting of the Black and Asian Archives Working
Group that this event had not been advertised in the April edition of the
SOA newsletter; it was subsequently omitted from the May edition as well (I
had hoped this was because the event was fully booked). In light of this
failure to properly advertise it, it is not really surprising that the event
has failed to achieve the required quota. Can someone ensure it does feature
in the June edition, so that those without access to this mailbase are made
aware of it, please?
