A symbolic handing over ceremony of Professor Michael Leigh’s
collection to Sarawak State Library (Pustaka) will be held tomorrow at
the Special Collection Room, Level 1 at 2.30pm.
It is a Bequeath
Programme of a collaboration between Pustaka Negeri Sarawak (Pustaka)
and individuals in Sarawak or elsewhere in the world and is aimed at
building a collection to preserve Sarawak’s culture, governance,
history, art, and heritage which would be accessible for researchers,
the general public, or future generations.
Professor Michael Leigh
has spoken of his intention to bequeath to Pustaka his vast collections
of research works amongst other collections.
Professor Leigh has published numerous publications on
Sarawak since 1963. His research interests are quite varied, but they
are mainly on politics across the Southeast Asian boundaries.
Pustaka would like to see more individuals come forward
and contribute towards the preservation of Sarawak’s culture,
governance, history, arts and heritage.
