Dear Dr. Schreuder,

We are pleased to announce that the International Symposium on Leprosy / Hansen's Disease History as Heritage of Humanity, organised by Sasakawa Memorial Health Foundation, was concluded with much success. At the opening of the above symposium on 28th January 2016, a fully renovated and renamed website of the International Leprosy Association - History of Leprosy was officially launched. 

The original site was a product of the International Leprosy Association's Global Project on the History of Leprosy, which aimed to develop a database of leprosy archives. Over the last decade, internet technology had improved and advanced rapidly. Sasakawa Memorial Health Foundation,​  with full endorsement of the International Leprosy Association, decided to fully renovate and expand the site and with Dr Jo Robertson who has been dedicating to the history of leprosy since the
 ​International Leprosy Association's Global Project on the History of Leprosy.

We hope the new-look and user-friendly site will serve as an entry point for as many people as possible the rich legacy of the history of leprosy.
