Speakers include: Professor Nasser Khalili, Nahla Nassar, acting curator and registrar of the Khalili collection and Professor J.M.Rogers, honorary curator of the Khalili collection. In addition, Dr Annabel Teh Gallop, head of the South and Southeast Asia section of the Asia, Pacific and Africa Collections at the British Library, will speak on illuminated Malay letters.
