Today, we celebrated triple achievements of András Riedlmayer, bibliographer in Islamic Art & Architecture, director of the Documentation Center of the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture at Harvard’s Fine Arts Library. Recently, András received the David Partington Award from the Middle East Librarians Association. This award is presented to members who have displayed a high standard of excellence and accomplishments in and contributions to the field of Middle East librarianship, librarianship in general, and the world of scholarship. We’re so incredibly fortunate to have András at Harvard Fine Arts Library. And this month, he also celebrated his 33 years of employment at Harvard. Lastly, today is his birthday! Many congratulations and a happy birthday to András!

András’ research interests include Ottoman history, Islamic art and culture in the Balkans, and the protection of cultural heritage under national and international law. He prepared many expert reports on the destruction of cultural heritage in Bosnia and Kosovo, and testified as an expert witness in nine trials at the ICTY and before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the genocide case Bosnia and Herzegovina v. Serbia and Montenegro.
