Dear Colleagues:

The International Association for Belarusian Studies and the F. Skaryna National Scientific and Educational Center of the Belarusian Ministry of Education and Science are planning the following conferences in 1997:

An international conference on "Civic Ideals in the Post-Communist Countries" (late February). The conference will be preceded by a round table discussion: "Belarus -- the view from Russia; Russia -- the view from Belarus."
An international symposium (sponsored by UNESCO): "'Non-forcible' variants of restitution: Joint use of disputed cultural objects (legal, scientific and moral aspects)" (April 22-25)
A conference on Ihnat Damejka (Karelichy, June 1997, co-sponsored by the Karelichy Rajon Executive Committee).
"480 Years of Belarusian Printing" (a conference in Polatsk in early September, co-sponsored by the Polatsk Museum of the History of Printing and Polatsk University).
Paper proposals are still being accepted. Proposals may be sent by regular mail to the following address:

We would also like to take this opportunity to inform you that we have published the materials from the International Belarusian-German round table (Belarusika/Albaruthenica 7) and a collection of articles, "Viartanne 3", which includes a portion of the materials from the International Congress of Belarusianists, "Belarus Between East and West." Unfortunately,the main collection of materials from the congress (Belarusika/Albaruthenica 6), which was already edited, typeset, and proofread some time ago, is still awaiting publication for financial reasons (our potential sponsors refused to pay the cost of printing).
