CALL FOR PAPERS: Medieval and Renaissance Lost Libraries 

The 2014 conference of CILIP’s Library and Information History Group will have the theme “Medieval and Renaissance Lost Libraries”. It will be held at Senate House in London on Saturday 12 July 2014.

Papers are welcome on such topics as libraries that have been destroyed either deliberately or accidentally, stolen books and libraries, fractured collections and losses due to weeding policy. Examples may be taken from any country in the world.

Abstracts of no more than 250 words (for individual 20 minute papers) should be sent to Monica Blake at info@blakeinformation.com by 3 March 2014. 

Accepted conference papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of the Group’s journal Library & Information History.
