Society for Libyan Studies

The Society for Libyan Studies was founded in 1969. Its aims are to encourage and co-ordinate scholarship on Libya and to foster relations between Libyan scholars and those working outside Libya on Libyan subjects. In this regard, it seeks through its activities to: support and undertake research relating to the history, antiquities, culture, langu... ages, literature, art, institutions, customs and natural history of Libya; and organise and promote missions to Libya for these purposes; cooperate with other organisations sharing the same fields of interest; arrange for the publication of research in these fields; hold lectures and meetings for Society members and other interested parties; publish an annual Journal (Libyan Studies) and other publications which will enhance and promote public knowledge of all aspects of Libyan culture and society. The Society is governed in accordance with rules first adopted in 1969 and subsequently modified in 1974, 1982 and 2010. The Society is sponsored by the British Academy and is recognised by the Charity Commission as an unincorporated association.Read More
