REPORT ON CONGRESS OF ARCHIVISTS AND LIBRARIANS, AND CONGRESS OF BIBLIOGRAPHY AND DOCUMENTATION. SIR: I have the honor to present the following report as the representative of the Smithsonian Institution at the International Congress of Archivists and Librarians and the International Congress of Bibliography and Documentation, held at Brussels, Belgium, in August, 1910. The Congress of Bibliography and Documentation, the first of the two congresses at Brussels, held its meetings from Thursday, August 25, through Saturday, August 27. On the printed list of members there were enrolled 24 associations, bureaus, and other organizations; 34 individual libraries and other institutions; and 160 persons by name, including duplications on lists. Forty-six countries were scheduled as in relation with the congress or with the Institut International de Bibliographie, under whose auspices this congress was held, and there were actually present representatives from at least 16 countries, including, besides the United States, Great Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, Bulgaria, Denmark, Norway, Monaco, and Turkey, about a hundred persons being actually present at most of the meetings. This congress was officially opened by M. Paul Otlet, one of the secretaries. He spoke of the work of the Institut International de Bibliographie in collecting catalogue cards for every known scientific publication and their arrange ment according to the Dewey decimal classification system; also an author's catalogue arranged alphabetically; a collection of picture postal cards of institutions and public buildings from all parts of the world, as well as of prominent persons, and a collection of photographic negatives covering all subjects, from which prints could be made, for persons pursuing a certain line of study. He explained that by documentation was meant the collection and preserving for reference of a series of newspaper and magazine clippings with their illustrations. He referred to the International Exchange Service and mentioned in glowing terms the work of the Smithsonian Institution in organizing and conducting the service in the United States. The congress then proceeded to consider the following subjects: I. Documents: 1. Books, reviews, journals; 2. Illustrations, foreign photographs; II. Works and collections: 1. Editing; 2. Library cataloguing. 3. Collections; 4. Encyclopedic arrangement. III. Methods: 1. Cards; 2. Rules and classification. |
