I am excited to introduce Kate McLachlan as an occasional blogger on Daughters of the Wind. Kate is a lecturer at the University of Cape Town, in South Africa, and holds a graduate degree in Ancient Philology from Oxford University. I am really looking forward to her contributions.
I am issuing this call as an adviser and a friend to the project ———————– Invitation YOU ARE INVITED to help shape the future of Arabian horse history as an Advisor to the Arabian Horse Archives Inc. — not to choose some aspects as important and sideline the rest, but to identify, preserve and protect archival materials relating to the world-wide history of the ancient and influential Arabian breed. The goal is to catalogue, and to facilitate the preservation of, such materials so that they are not only conserved but made accessible to students and researchers. We need to become visible in order to be noticed. Our first goal is to populate arabianarchives.org and illustrate the wide range of topics of interest, and the forms in which information exists. We ask that each of you provide a high-resolution scan (or photograph of a three-dimensional object) from your collections, representative of some aspect of Arabian horse history. Local or international, antique or mid-century modern — it’s all history. We need, in the current on-line environment, to develop an active social media presence. There is someone out there with the time and the skills to maintain Archives announcements on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other platforms.…
