It sounds obvious, but while you remember, preserve your memories of family photos for the future, so that your grandchilden ++ will know a little more about their past!

Thank you to Reina Lewis, Professor of Cultural Studies for her kind words about 'Olga de Lebedeff- A Life Across Empires'. She recently wrote to us:
'What a wonderful project, and what fascinating material. The book's illuminating account of Imperial Russia and the Tatar context is gripping, and provides rich insights into the Constantinople/Ottoman/Egyptian reformist and feminist circles with which I was more familiar. I can only imagine the labour involved in translating so much primary material, and how wonderful that it is now available to share with scholars and interested readers through this captivating book.'
