Dear All,
I wrote to you earlier this year looking for donations of maps and atlases
to help rebuild the map collection of the University of Freetown, Sierra
Leone, following its destruction during the recent civil war. The British
Council link between the University of Sussex and Freetown is now in place,
and we are at last in a position to accept material. The map curator there
is, understandably, particularly interested in receiving African maps, and
at this stage that's the only material we would like to receive.
Unfortunately, we have to ask donating map libraries to pay the cost of
posting the maps to us here at Sussex, and we will then send the packages
on to Sierra Leone. So, if you have any surplus material, it would be very
gratefully received. Do contact me (off-list) if you have any queries.
Thanks very much!
Evelyn
