• Estonian One-Day Conference at Stanford June 27th, 2013

About the conference:

On June 27th 2013, a conference will be held at Stanford University Libraries (SUL), dedicated to Estonian archives, libraries, museums and research possibilities abroad. The organizers hope to bring together representatives from institutions, organizations and societies interested in collecting, preserving and researching Estonian cultural heritage abroad, in order to instigate discussion about the current state and future of these matters. We would be very glad if participants and guests would bring their questions and ideas about what the near future of collecting and researching Estonian material abroad could and should look like.
