Significant recent accessions to the Sudan Archive and related events will be reported on this blog. You are warmly encouraged to visit us or to get in touch, whether to further your own research, to suggest additional records we should try to collect, or to make a donation to the collections yourself.
Items marked with an asterisk are accruals to existing collections, details of the careers of which persons can be found published in the Summary Guide to the Sudan Archive or in each of their collections’ catalogues. Acquisitions of recent publications are not generally noted but are nevertheless received with deep thanks. Accessions generally remain uncatalogued for a period of time, but can usually be accessed on request. Newly digitised material from the collections is published online most weeks and can be browsed here.
