DEAR EDITOR,
I possess a small collection of books which I would have acquired over the years because of my passion for historical artifacts. One such book within my collection is “The Silent Witness” which was written by British Guiana/Guyana-born, the late Sir Lionel Luckhoo, who was knighted by the Queen of England, and American, Dr. John R. Thompson. The book was published by Thomas Nelson Publishers, USA in 1995.
I am currently in the process of finding new homes for the collection of books, because I honestly feel that they need to be in the ideal preservation facility for caring. In layman’s terms, the baton needs to be passed on.
The one special thing about “The Silent Witness” is the fact that it was the personal copy of the late Sir Lionel Luckhoo, a well accomplished son of the soil (Guyana)…History books and Guinness Books of Records can attest to this fact.
For the record, this book was under a pile of old rotten wood and junk which was headed to the dump. It was my decision to save this literature piece. It has also been confirmed by someone based in the USA that it is the authentic signature and handwriting of the late Sir Lionel.
The mind-boggling question is whether this book is better kept in a museum in the USA (perhaps the Smithsonian Institute) or a museum in England. I would appreciate as much guidance from brilliant minds. On the other side of the coin, perhaps persons attached to the British High Commission or the US Embassy in Guyana with the knowledge of museums in their respective countries can also consider their contribution, which will also serve well.
