 ====== Manuscripts Expert Group ======
-The aim of the Manuscripts Expert Group is to arrange a conference every second year. The next meeting of the Manuscripts Expert Group will take place  in Vienna in on 13-14 November 2018. The agenda is available [[https://www.cerl.org/collaboration/manuscriptexperts/dates|here]].
+===== History =====
+In September 2000, manuscript librarians from across Europe met in Stockholm at a conference to discuss recent developments in the field and to exchange information. Participating colleagues agreed to form an Expert Group of Manuscript Librarians under the auspices of LIBER (Collection Development Division). In July 2001 LIBER’s General Conference in London formally approved the Expert Group. Since 2014 the Group has been a part of The Consortium of European Research Libraries (CERL).
+===== Aims ======
+The Manuscript Librarians Working Group recognises the unique significance of manuscript and archive collections, not only for the world of research and learning, but also for a wider audience of people interested in history and cultural heritage. The primary aims of the Working Group are to act as a forum for curatorial concerns, and to enhance understanding and practical cooperation among curators across Europe, taking account of the differences in approach which have occurred historically.
-Chairman of the Expert Group is Scot McKendrick (British Library), and secretary is Bente Granrud (National Library of Norway).
