REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN for the IFLA Library History Special Interest Group Satellite Meeting to be held 17-19 August in Mons, Belgium prior to the IFLA WLIC 2023.
Preserving our origins: Approaches to the organization, curation, and historiography of the record of national and international organizations in libraries, information, and documentation, features a Keynote Address by Dr. Boyd Rayward on "The emergence of a Post World War II international information order: international associations, inter-governmental agencies, political platforms and technological affordances."
Held at the Mundaneum in Mons, the conference seeks to honor and emulate the transformative work of its founders Paul Otlet and Henri LaFontaine, by bringing together historians, archivists, librarians, and representatives of associations to focus on the developing historiography of libraries, librarianship, the information sciences, and documentation with an emphasis on the associations and organizations that developed and supported the field's tremendous global growth and impact over the past 125 years.
