This paper utilizes critical race theory (CRT) to identify inequalities perpetuated by racialized epistemicide, the race-based discriminatory destruction of knowledge, through the loss of cultural heritage and the limitation of access to accurate narratives. We introduce the term reparative storytelling as a way to describe work centering oral and performance-based ways of knowing and remembering that establish the evidence needed for dignity, healing, and justice. By discussing the history of library services to the Black community in Huntsville, Alabama, this paper explains how racism and urban renewal perpetuated racialized epistemic injustice by destroying cultural heritage and narratives of marginalized communities. We demonstrate strategies and tools that can be used to unsilence library history and give people access to their past by using counternarratives for reparative storytelling. We believe that the archive combined with digital visualization, humanities, and storytelling tools can help us correct historical narratives by honoring neglected voices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, I discuss the fate of six 15th-century books from the collection of Polish bishop and bibliophile Józef Andrzej Załuski (1702–1774). I aim to trace the migrations of incunabula in the 18th century before the mass movements of books in response to the suppressions of religious convents. An analysis of unexploited provenance materials, such as ownership and reading marks, will make it possible to determine the methods of the bishop-bibliophile and the ways by which he acquired valuable collections for the Załuski Public Library (one of the largest in Europe at the time), which he co-managed with his brother. I will moreover answer the question of what factors caused these volumes to survive to this day, unlike most of volumes from Załuski's book collection, which were burnt shortly after the Warsaw Uprising in 1944.

This article explores the collections and accessibility of parish libraries in early modern England and the subjects in which their readers were most interested. The period covered begins with the 1558 accession of Elizabeth I, which preceded by only a few years the establishment of the first post-Reformation parish library, and ends with the Parochial Libraries Act of 1709, which ensured that libraries could not be dismantled and dispersed without permission from the appropriate authorities. This article argues that parish libraries were established in this period to provide people of gentry rank and below with a religious education and that, despite previous historians' arguments to the contrary, the works in these collections were appropriate to the intended audience. It further contends that despite physical access restrictions imposed on these libraries by their founders, their books were read, and that readers' interests focused on four themes that were central to early modern Protestantism.

The period between the two world wars was a time of development and growth for department store libraries in the United States. While scholars have explored corporate libraries, those at department stores remain understudied. This investigation finds that these libraries, like those at other corporations, served to educate employees but also sought to improve them. Exploring the Schuster & Co. library in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this article employs the company's archival records, contemporary periodicals, and business literature to illustrate how the library facilitated the store's business mission and identifies three distinct periods of the library's work.

This qualitative interview study with retired staff from urban public libraries collects data about employees’ perceptions of how these institutions changed during the 1980s. Participants’ memories of their communities, budgets, staffing, new technology, security measures, services, programming, outreach, and work with job-seekers and the unhoused are compared with library literature and newspaper coverage from the decade. As the U.S. shifted from an industrial society of large workplaces linking whole communities toward an “information society” with a more heterogenous workforce divided by educational attainment, urban public library workforces, target audiences, collections, and programming both adapted to and mirrored these changes.

During the eighteenth century professional astronomy started in Lithuania, and over time the first extensive astronomical publications appeared. The tradition of publishing a periodical astronomical Bulletin started in 1921, when Vilnius Astronomical Observatory was led by Polish astronomer Professor Władysław Dziewulski. The outbreak of the Second World War stopped the publication of Bulletins, and 1960 was a crucial year in the rebirth of astronomy in Lithuania. The revitalization of the Bulletin was very important for the Observatory's research and the expansion of the library. During the Soviet occupation, Lithuanian astronomers had limited links abroad. Thus, the Bulletin served as a way to disseminate astronomical research and establish links with international research institutions. This paper examines the history, personalities, contributions and importance to the scientific community of the Bulletin of the Vilnius Astronomical Observatory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Analyzing the books preserved in libraries according to the classification of sciences is an alternative way of writing the history of Islamic sciences. This method can reveal the extent to which books belonging to each field of science have been represented in libraries throughout history. Examining libraries from the perspective of the classification of sciences may demonstrate the scholarly production and diversity in the Ottoman Empire, which is famous for its manuscript libraries. Therefore, this article proposes a new method for library and collection studies and aims to contribute to the literature on classifying Ottoman sciences. To achieve this goal, I compare three libraries of the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries, each established by one of the most influential figures of their time. A comparative analysis of the libraries of Maḥmūd Pasha, Ḥabeshī Meḥmed Agha, and Fāżil Aḥmad Pasha in terms of the classification of sciences reveals the transformation in the sciences represented in the Ottoman libraries from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries. Although the sciences belonging to fields such as Qur'ānic exegesis, hadith, and jurisprudence had a high ratio of representation in these libraries, which were designed primarily as madrasa libraries, the number of works related to history and literature increased over time.

An I LQ i special issue next year will explore another way that libraries and their supporters can combat antilibrary efforts: through direct civic engagement. As we write this editorial, the legislatures of more than a half-dozen states have passed laws with criminal penalties for librarians, although some governors have vetoed the legislation and the state court in one case blocked implementation of that state's law.

The author of the article discusses selected academic and popular publications on the history of libraries and librarianship in Poland which were issued between 1945 and 2015. In that period, information about the most important historical resources of various Polish libraries and early book collections was made available. In addition, the period was marked by progress in the study of materials originating before the end of the 18th century. Scholars published a range of methodological works and works about sources, contributing to the development of scholarship. At the same time, there were too few editions of source materials. After 1989, scholars intensified their efforts to find sources in foreign collections, especially in Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia and Germany. Polish collections kept abroad are yet to be fully researched and to have their inventories and catalogues published. The vast body of literature is uneven when it comes to its focus on individual historical periods, regions, subregions and local centres. It comprises publications on the history of libraries, their function and role in culture with regard to the history of publications focused on the types of libraries or individual libraries — of different traditions, sizes and the book, and stature. Scholars also explored the history of private book collections, reading rooms and libraries, as well as biographies of librarians and collectors. The quality of the publications varies. There are gaps in, for example, the history of libraries in the former Polish eastern borderlands and ‘blank pages’ in the historiography of Polish librarianship after the Second World War. There is a visible shortage of quantification of phenomena from the past of libraries, despite the fact that there are some possibilities in this respect. What is also needed is development in comparative studies, including from an international perspective, although this would require Polish historians to become more interested than before in the history of librarianship in other countries.

The objective of this study was to develop a crop model for sunflower in Daisy. For this intent, the field experiment data of two full irrigation treatments for 2 years, 2012 and 2013, were used to develop the crop model. The average RMSE of the dry matter (DM), leaf area index (LAI), height of plant (H), and water content parameters in the treatments utilized for calibration was calculated 0.093 Ton/ha, 0.198 cm2/cm2, 2.25 cm, and 1.035%, respectively. The average RMSE of the parameters of DM, LAI, H, and water content in the treatments utilized for validation were estimated 0.207 Ton/ha, 0.272 cm2/cm2, 4.22 cm, and 1.123%, respectively. The results of the validation showed that the developed crop model had good accuracy making it useful for simulation of sunflower agroecology. It is suggested to use the developed crop model in the information library of Daisy and survey and calibrate it for other areas with different climates and sunflower varieties.

The paper illustrates the LIBMOVIT project – Libraries on the Move: Scholars, Books, Ideas Traveling in Italy in the 18th Century – whose main research focus is the European Eighteenth century socio-cultural framework in which the library as an institution acquired an historical, social, public and dynamic dimension. This context will be analysed through a study of the Eighteenth century sources connected to the learned journey experience of the Grand Tour, in particular those contained in the Angiolo Tursi collection – one of the largest travel literature collections in Italy – held at the Marciana national library in Venice. The paper presents the planned approach of the research: first, a classification and an organization of a corpus of relevant documents for the knowledge of travel literature in connection to the libraries world will be created; in particular, the sources will be identified, further bibliographical information will be added, and new sources will be integrated to the corpus and selected documents will be digitized. After that, the research will proceed through a double analysis – traditional and computational – of the texts collected in the corpus is to be developed. First, all the library and bibliographical aspects described by travellers will be studied according to the traditional approach in humanities research to collect important information about the history of libraries (location, decoration, catalogues, opening hours, access, collections, cited books and documents), the travellers and their companions (professions, nationality, reason to travel), the people met (scholars, librarians, superintendents) and the subjects and ideas discussed during the visits in the libraries. Second, the texts will be computationally analysed through several Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, starting from the automatic text recognition until arriving to more complex lexical and terminological analysis and Named Entity Recognition (NER). This work is meant to support the previously described qualitative study and will also allow to produce Linked open data about the domain entities (e.g. libraries, people, books) in view of their publication in the semantic web in order to ease and promote their exploration, visualisation and reuse.

The ideas with which Manual Selva designed and taught the first library science courses in Argentina (1937-1944) are studied. Two fundamental works by the author are analysed: Manual de bibliotecnia (1939) and Tratado de bibliotecnia (1944). It is interpreted that these publications, together with the courses, were part of a bid to professionalise the librarian activity. We describe the foundations of the proposal, the topics considered central and their context of emergence. It is concluded that the initiative represented a twist in the historical sense of the Argentine library field, by creating a legitimate sequence of contents, founding a work methodology, installing a specialised language and endowing the profession with a social mission that justified it.

The article presents the first results of an investigation carried out within the scope of the Research Group on Documentary Heritage; it is also the fruit of intense debate between the authors. The theme is the Itamaraty Historical Library, located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and linked to the current Ministry of Foreign Affairs. For this kind of what Matthew Battles called "Bibiography of a Library", when studying the "Widener Library" (2004), the aim was to understand and problematise, through documental resources, the context of creation in 1842. Reading and analysing the sources revealed the importance of certain collections considered to be foundational, due to the instrumental force they gave to the interests of the Ministry itself, as well as the chronological cut-off point for this work, i.e. 1902 and 1912. As Gabriel Naudé (1600-1653) once said, a library without organization and a purpose for its collection is a mere collection of books. Based on this premise, we conclude that during the period selected for this study, thanks to the forms of management devised by José Maria da Silva Paranhos Júnior, Baron of Rio Branco, books in the Itamaraty Historical Library became instruments that would subsidies’ the chancellery's decision-making processes, as well as acquiring a face associated with an information unit.

The article talks about the beginning of a library tradition citizen-associative based. Focousing on the funding process form three public libraries from Uruguay interior in the period 1873-1874. Throughout the study of diverse documents, mainly primary and secondary sources, the cases of "Biblioteca de la Asociación de Amigos de la Educación Popular de Nueva Palmira” (1873), "Biblioteca Popular de la Colonia" (1874) and foundational collection from "Biblioteca Popular Mac Eachen” from Paysandú" (1874) are analyzed. The uruguayan public library is due to the great cultural movement started in 1868 by the “Sociedad de Amigos de la Educación Popular” leading by José Pedro Varela Berro and created in Montevideo but fast branched in many towns from the interior of the country. Letter’s analysis, press articles form the epoque, speeches and regulations enable to identify the ideas and known people who made the existence form the first libraries possible, conceived to complement the conquered goals from public education. The strategies are identified to push indeed their creation and innovations installed in the cultural environment such as the home loan and its tie to the reading as socio-cultural practise leading for first time to the development of readers formation at the beginning of the “Modernity” in Uruguay.

This paper raises the theme of the history of Lampung in the old newspaper collection. The old newspaper collection is one of the rare collections in the National Library of Indonesia. Rare newspaper collections, apart from being a primary source in historical research, have other characteristics that are not shared by the collection of books or other collections in the National Library of Indonesia. This is the background of this research. This research used a descriptive analysis method. It observed and analyzed several collections of selected rare newspapers representing various periods from the Dutch colonial era, the Japanese occupation period, era of the independence revolution, and the old order government to the new order government period. The newspaper collections selected were those that contained information about Lampung from different periods. This is to prove that there are many traces of Lampung's history in old newspaper collections and they are not minor sources of data. There is a lot of important data that can become primary sources for historical research on Lampung. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study examines the "life" of an eighteenth-century private library that migrated from Spain to New Spain in 1765 and returned, greatly reduced, back to Europe in 1772. The collection's owner was José de Gálvez (1720–1787), a reformist Spanish statesman and recently appointed royal inspector of the Mexican viceroyalty. Standing at the crossroads of book history, the history of reading, and political history, this piece examines the library and its books from both a material and intellectual perspective. It relies on "Thing Theory," a methodological approach that opens avenues for further research on human-object relations in the Atlantic world. Examining the interplay between the owner, his ideas, his biography, and his book collection, this study expands book history's geographies and proposes a new narrative about the global dimensions of the Enlightenment.

Historical relics of the Musi River during the Sriwijaya period in Palembang are of various types and forms. Understanding their historical values is crucial for history learning. Ironically, many members of the public do not comprehend the historical value embedded in these objects. Therefore, it is necessary to compile a data matrix of historical objects and and analyze their value This process can serve as a source for learning local history in Palembang. The purpose of this research is to analyze and construct a matrix of values for the historical legacy objects from the Musi River during the Srivijaya period. This matrix serves as a source for learning local history in Palembang. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method, employing data collection techniques that include observation, documentation, in-depth interviews, and library study. Data analysis employed a narrative descriptive analysis. This study produced an organized matrix of relics from the Musi River during the Sriwijaya era, including ceramics, beads, statues, and porcelain. These historical artifacts bear marks past life in political, economic, socio-cultural and religious fields. The historical values of objects from the Musi River during the Sriwijaya era is highly relevant to the study of Indonesian History during the Hindu-Buddhist period. It can be concluded that these historical marks can serve as source learning history local in Palembang. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The library of the Pauline monastery of Budaszentlőrinc was plundered and burnt down by the Ottoman troops after the Battle of Mohács, and according to current research, all volumes of this grandiose collection perished in the fire. This study draws attention to the existence of a surviving codex. The volume is a 13th-century Latin Bible richly decorated with initials and miniatures that was produced in a Parisian workshop and is currently held in the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp under shelfmark M. 17.3. The study reviews the international scholarly literature related to the codex and clarifies an episode of its provenance: based on the Turkish entry (previously incorrectly identified as Arabic) on folio 247r, it was seized by the Ottoman forces in 1526 and not in 1546. From a codicological perspective, it clarifies the inconsistencies of the foliation, supplements the list of entries found in the volume, and ascertains the mutilation of the pages. It also provides further evidence to support the hypothesis that the codex originally consisted of two volumes and links the rebinding to the Flemish merchant Gillis de Grave operating in Ancona.

Literature, with its diverse and broad spectrum of platform, medium, and delivery, has long been an indicator of a civilization's culture. How the literature of various cultures was either preserved, lost, or shared has shaped the modern conception of World Literature. Libraries have been central to the collection, preservation, and access to literature throughout time, and their dependence on political and/or religious leadership has shaped the notion of "world literature" in fundamental ways. To increase awareness of marginalized literature and to broaden the understanding of World Literature is to seek out and share the lessons learned by librarians who all too frequently lost their libraries.

"Libraries and Books in Medieval England" by Richard Sharpe challenges traditional understandings of medieval book culture and the role of libraries in England during the Middle Ages. Sharpe's work, based on extensive research and the Corpus of British Medieval Library Catalogues, offers a more complex view of book ownership and the movement of books between institutions. He argues that the focus on monastic scriptoria has overshadowed the role of secular scribes and the broader book economy. This groundbreaking study calls for a reevaluation of concepts such as commercial versus institutional production and personal versus institutional ownership. [Extracted from the article]

The article is a documentary essay on the last stage of activity of the State scientific library of the USSR Ministry of Higher Education in 1957–1958 and the creation on its basis in 1958 of two largest modern scientific libraries in Russia. They are the State public scientific technological library of the Siberian branch of the Russian academy of sciences in Novosibirsk and the State public scientific technological library in Moscow. (At that time they were the State public scientific technological library of the Siberian branch of the USSR academy of sciences the State public scientific technological library of the USSR.) It is shown what stages of preparation and the decision implementation has gone through and what obstacles it has faced. The further development of the two State public scientific technological libraries has brought them to the forefront of information and library activities and has shown the correctness of the decision made in 1958.
