About

The continent of Africa has seen astonishing inventions in communication systems using visual symbols. Some of them we recognize as writing. Some show how limited our definition of writing has been. "Endangered Alphabets and Why We Write" is a three-part series cosponsored by the Library with the Endangered Alphabets Project, a U.S.-based non-profit organization that supports endangered, minority and indigenous cultures by preserving their writing systems through original artwork and educational materials. The featured speaker in this lecture series is the project's director Tim Brookes, while Library of Congress librarians also speak briefly in each virtual lecture to introduce relevant materials in Library's collections.

Human-made No record of this work says a model made it. What this means.
