His motivation is that of an alternative Syrian cultural centre: the subject of an ugly, fierce and heavily personalised debate. Within other circles it has been very difficult to address what are at best "sectarian" attitudes to heritage. The 10, 000 plus Syrian photographs held by the Sephardic Heritage Museum project (NY) which have not been made available to the public is a case in point. Fundamentally the Damascus Keterim are part of a broader artistic Sephardi tradition - they were not produced in Syria- and deserve the care and attention they receive at the National Library.
