South Asia Seminar: Graham Shaw, British Library
[Celebrating the Career of James Nye Dinner Following, Classics 110]
In this talk, Graham Shaw will offer a review of the ways in which South Asian collections in the West – Europe and America – have developed from the 18th to the 20th centuries in the light of changing historical circumstances, relationships and technologies. Shaw comes to Chicago to join in honoring the many contributions of South Asia bibliographer Jim Nye, who will retire from UChicago this fall. Shaw credits Nye with devising an ethical approach to collections and cultural property and will discuss how the field has changed over the course of both men’s careers.
