There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

"The collection of African artifacts from Central Africa [at Belgium's Royal Museum for Central Africa] is the most extensive in the world. During our visit we were told by the museum’s director, Guido Gryseels, that the facility was to be closed for three years for a major renovation," writes Phil Bolton. "Thus began the brainstorming for Africa Atlanta 2014, which will bring to Atlanta objects from the museum for a celebration of the city’s many connections to the African continent that is being organized by Jacqueline Royster, dean of the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts."
