Annual Meeting Shows that the Estonian Studies Centre is on the Precipice of a New Era


Following on from last week's Tartu College AMM, on Thursday May 20th, the Estonian Studies Centre also held its annual meeting.

18 members and one proxy were present of the 20 total members who represent ESC. These members are active in organizations that include, but are not limited to, the VEMU Collections Program, the Bibliography Club, ES Library, and TEAS Ööbik.

Jaan Meri, Chair, ESC Board of Directors, began the meeting's business by reminding members of the ESC policy, that “all donations received go towards the new Museum's capital fund. The only exception is for donations that are directed for specific programming at the ESC.”

For instance, last year, the Estonian Arts Centre completed a deal to donate their art collection and financial resources. After a year, the deal was concluded on the 1st of September, 2020. This is a huge boost for the ESC Archival Collection, which currently possesses materials that include 15,000 catalogued books, 10,000 photos, 1,500 digitized videos, 120 personal and organizational archives, and more.
