    Compiled and wrote The Consul Luigi Palma di Cesnola 1832-1904: Life and Deeds, 500 copies printed in Nicosia, January 2000, published by the Cultural Centre of the Popular Bank Group, with a foreword by Vassos Karageorghis, to coincide with the opening of the Cypriot galleries at the Metropolitan Museum. The foreword says she went through archives unknown to earlier Cesnola biographers (his reports to the State Department, his correspondence with Hiram Hitchcock) and rebuts Cesnola's and Myres' charges that Cypriots were barbarians who sold their heritage.
