With his
agreement, the British Library has made available transcripts of diary
notes made by Dr Saad Eskander, the Director of the Iraq National
Library and Archives, for the months of November and December. These are
available at:
I am not
sure that anyone here can possibly appreciate just how perilous and intolerable
a situation Dr Eskander and his
colleagues are operating under in the
interest of keeping the National Library and Archives open.
The British Library has sent a message of support to Dr
Eskander. His personal courage - and that
of his staff - is an example to all
of us in the library and information profession.
