2020-entering a new era

The Covid-19 pandemic is bringing drastic changes to the world. It is changing our research as well.  With travel nearly impossible, it is more important than ever to preserve and make materials available remotely.

This is also challenging, given that researchers are not allowed to meet, are discouraged from coming to campus, and students are currently not even allowed on campus except in special circumstances.

Nonetheless, we are redoubling our efforts to prepare for digitalization once the current wave of Covid-19 has passed. We are also working with partners to ensure other materials become available to researchers in either print or digital forms.

Stay healthy!!
