Highlights from SAHARA: Vietnam and Cambodia
Jul 13, 2016
by
Jacqueline Spafford and Jeffrey Klee, SAHARA Co-Editors
In anticipation of the SAH Field Seminar to Vietnam and Cambodia in December, we wanted to highlight some SAHARA content from these two countries. The buildings and sites span many centuries and styles, and represent rich and often difficult pasts. Please visit SAHARA to see more, and, if you are one of the fortunate attendees of the December trip, please contribute your own images. (In fact, this is a reminder to all of you traveling this summer—please keep SAHARA in mind as you photograph and document your varied destinations, and contact the SAHARA editors if you need help with your contribution.)
