For providing ongoing digital archiving expertise, Production Coordinator Frank Antonelli was cited by Prof. Emeritus John Hutchison last Friday during the program of the Inauguration of the Archive of the Republic of Niger at the African Studies Library. Pictured here are the President of Niger, S.E.M. Issoufou Mahamadou (left), Ambassador of the Republic of Niger to the U.S. Hassana Alidou (center), and Prof. Emeritus John Hutchison. Congratulations Frank for, as John put it, your “extraordinary archivist [work] helping to preserve documents in Nigerian languages, recordings, and even films of the Yazi Dogo Theater Troop. Your knowledge will be vital as we consider [further] collaborative archival projects.”
