Libraries in Times of War, Revolution & Social Change
(Library History Seminar XI)
Illinois, United States

Library History Seminar XI: “Libraries in Times of War, Revolution &
Social Change,” will be held at the Allerton Conference Center of the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on October 27-30, 2005. The
conference theme is a particularly timely one in terms of recent 
history--the
pillage and burning of Iraq's National Library in Spring of 2003 sent 
cultural
shock waves around the world. The apparent contradictions of libraries,
traditionally taken to represent stability and continuity, and wars and
revolutions, which involve rapid change and social disruption, suggest a 
number
of urgent historical questions.

Paper sessions featuring scholars from seven countries will focus on the
histories of library collection and services in the context of particular
conflicts, populations, eras, and geographic locations. Keynote speakers 
from
North and South America, Europe and Asia will examine and discuss 
historical and
contemporary libraries in times of social crisis and violent dislocation.

Full program details, including registration materials, are available at
www.lis.uiuc.edu/conferences/LHS.XI/ Space at the conference venue is
limited--advance registration is strongly recommended. For additional
