e-Infrastructures for Cultural Heritage is the first of three international conferences taking place in the course of the DC-NET project. Besides providing a presentation of the project and its preliminary results, the conference aims to open a debate on the possibilities e-infrastructures offer for services and research in the cultural heritage sector and on how the two communities (e-infrastructure operators and cultural heritage institutions) could better cooperate in the future not forgetting the necessary strong involvement of the research community.

Bibliothecarissen en archivarissen die willen weten welke soorten boekbanden er in hun collectie voorhanden zijn, trekken best naar de studiedag Understanding and caring for bookbindings. Deze studiedag biedt niet alleen informatie over de uiteenlopende  boekband-types. Er wordt ook begeleiding gegeven in het behandelen en beschrijven van boekbanden en in het selecteren van de geschikte bewaringstechnieken. Daarnaast krijgen deelnemers een overzicht van de geschiedenis van de Westerse boekbanden met voorbeelden uit de collecties van de British Library.

Wat is stof en waarom is het management ervan belangrijk? Deze onderwerpen worden behandeld tijdens de studiedag Dust, dirt and volunteers, geleid door Jane Pimlott (British Library) en Caroline Bendix ACR (Onafhankelijk Conservator). De studiedag overloopt enkele goedkope methodes om het stof onder controle te houden, en verkent preventieve maatregelen om te verhinderen dat het stof zich ophoopt. Concreet kan u deelnemen aan praktische sessies over het opkuisen van boeken en opslagplaatsen, en wordt een stappenplan aangereikt voor het opzetten van een eigen huishoudelijk programma.

Vlaamse Erfgoedbibliotheek (Flanders Heritage Library) is entering a new phase. Last year, we worked hard to shape this network organisation for heritage libraries in Flanders and Brussels. Now we are ready to present our plans. This is why we invite everybody to the festive presentation of Vlaamse Erfgoedbibliotheek, held in the presence of Mrs Joke Schauvliege, Flemish minister for Culture. The event will take place on Friday, 11 June, at 17:00 hours in the historical Nottebohm hall of the Heritage Library Hendrik Consciene.

Flanders Heritage Library and the KU Leuven University Library cordially invite you to the Festive Presentation of Flandrica.be on Thursday 15 November 2012 in the Grand Reading Room of the Central Library of the KU Leuven. This presentation will be attended by the Flemish minister of Culture, Joke Schauvliege.

Flandria.be is a new portal site, providing access to digitized books, manuscripts, newspapers, engravings and other materials from six heritage libraries in Flanders, Belgium.

It is well known that great aristocratic houses all over Europe once contained magnificent libraries. What is less well known - at least in Continental Europe - is that many hundreds of these libraries still exist in historic houses all over England, Scotland and Wales. Over 300,000 books survive in more than 150 libraries and are in the care of the National Trust, despite the name not a government body, but a private charity established in the late nineteenth century. Others belong to smaller private foundations, and others still have remained in private ownership. read more
