Donating digital material to Arabian Horse Archives
As we broached up the subject of Arabian Horse Archives in a previous entry, I am excited to say that I will be giving annotated, digital copies of my entire collection of photos and negatives, mostly taken in Lebanon and Syria in the 1970s-80s (by my father) to the 90s and 2000s (mostly by me). I encourage those of you who have relevant collections to do the same.
I have already donated a never-seen-before image to Turfa taken in her home country, together with the British imports Kasim and Faras, which was given to me by Kees Mol.
Below, Mawj al-Rih, a Saqlawi Jadran at the Beirut racetrack in the 1940s. From the book of Ali al-Barazi.
Oh, Edouard! That is a wonderful gift!
