Global Libraries Program (World Archaeological Congress) PDF Print E-mail

Mission
The Global Libraries Program aims to develop the archaeological literary collections of economically-disadvantaged institutions. By supporting such libraries, we hope to assist archaeological and cultural heritage management students and professionals to undertake and excel at their study and work.

Donations
The program relies on the donations of WAC members, philanthropic organizations and members of the general public. Any book/journal/CD/video/etc or subscriptions are gratefully received. Alternatively, we are in need of monetary donations to support postage and to purchase useful publications for each library. Due to the high cost of postage, digital donations are especially requested. Please contact us if you would like to donate.

Operations
For complete information about the operation of the WAC Global Libraries Program, both in relation to existing and aspiring member libraries and to the Executive Council of the World Archaeological Congress (WAC), to whom the Program is accountable, please click here (PDF or WORD).

Program Committee
Ashley Sands, Alinah K. Segobye, Jim Robertson, Miguel Alejandro Aguilar Diaz, Cornelius Holtorf, Wilhelm Londono, Ingrid Ahlgren, and Shanti Pappu. (Dr. Sally K. May formerly chaired the committee).
