Libya Matters: Safeguarding Libyan Heritage
2016-10-01 10:00 - 18:00 UTC | Council Room (K2.29) King’s Building, Strand Campus, Strand,, London , WC2R 2LS, United Kingdom
In 2012 the Society for Libyan Studies and the Centre for Hellenic Studies held a one day event, drawing attention to the value for world history of the heritage of Libya. Four years later, that heritage is threatened in many ways. We are therefore organising a second all-day event, presenting the work which we and others, in the UK and abroad, are doing to support our Libyan colleagues in confronting the current challenges.
The event will include presentations on their work by Paul Bennett (Canterbury), Corisande Fenwick (UCL), David Mattingly (Leicester) Oliva Menozzi (Chieti), Hafed Walda (London/Paris), Susan Walker (Oxford) and Will Wootton (KCL); the new SLS online Gazetteer of Heritage Sites in Libya will also be launched.
For more information about Libyan Matters visit the event page of the KCL website.

Digitising Libyan Heritage: a work in progress
2016-02-09 17:30 - 18:30 | The British Academy, 10-11 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5AH, London, United Kingdom
An illustrated lecture by Professor Emeritus Charlotte Roueché, Senior Research Fellow in Digital Hellenic Studies, Kings College London.
Since 2008 Charlotte Roueché has been working with Joyce Reynolds to present the epigraphy of Roman Libya online: the first publication was the Inscriptions of Roman Tripolitania in 2009. The project is constantly evolving, not only because of changes in Libya, but also because of the constant revolution in digital scholarship. In this talk Professor Roueché will present the project – its development and its future.
The President and Council of the Society for Libyan Studies invite you to attend this lecture to be held at the British Academy, 10 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1A 5AH at 5.30 pm on Tuesday 9 February 2016. Members’ friends are welcome.
