SLA’s long-time partners, the Diasporic Literary Archives Network (DLAN), has launched a new website in 2023.

This follows a decision by the University of Reading to bring DLAN in-house as one of its ongoing research projects.

The new web-address is: https://research.reading.ac.uk/diasporicarchives/

Please amend your bookmarks to the new web-address.

The new website is still under construction, but the listing of diasporic literary collections around the world, which was a major feature of the previous site, can already be found here.

From the website: In November 2013, the network became an approved project of the International Council on Archives, by decision of ICA’s Programme Commission. The Network’s ongoing value and impact is recognised by the University of Reading, and the University will support its continuation into the decade of the 2020s.  Visit the News page to read more about work since 2014 on archives in danger / documentary heritage at risk (work with UNESCO and swisspeace); on Caribbean archives (notably with partners in Grenada and Trinidad & Tobago); and on literary, musical and artistic archives in Africa (Namibia, Malawi, Cape Verde, Cameroon and other countries).
