Leonie Lafontaine "Moins connue du grand public que son frère" (1857-1949)

• "The evolution of a feminist documentation office in the Union of  International Associations is due to Léonie La Fontaine. Her private  documents reflect the extent of her militancy at the origins of the  feminist combat of the nineteenth century and of pacifism in the  twentieth century. After she dies in 1949, the Mundaneum will continue  her document collection on feminism with press cuttings and  publications.
• The archives of a feminist of the National Council  of Belgian Women (from the twenties until the Second World War)  represent the feminism fund. Finally, recent donations by Luce Hautier  and René Fosséprez allow for understanding post-1945 feminism through  increasingly economic and social preoccupations.
• The feminist collection comprises 222 archive boxes. An inventory was completed in 1998." http://archives.mundaneum.org/en/feminism-fund

• See what happened at "Congrès international de bibliographie et documentation (Bruxelles 25-27 août 1910)" -- the year before, as well. ICW was invited to join in 1910 and there were women delegates who participated on behalf of the "Office Central de Documentation ... la femme" at least in 1909 (acc. to Rapport to ICW 1909)

• shadow, but who wrote in IFLA’s First fifty Years the best and most useful 10 page chapter under the title
• the Evolution of Professional Activities and their Interplay with IFLA’s structure. Milisa’s own modesty
• induced me to forget that she acted as editor  of IFLA  Annual from 1972 onwards, when Verlag
• Dokumentation from München became IFLA’s publisher." (from here: http://www.ifla.org/files/assets/hq/history/the_dutch_tea_party_of_ifla_in_the_70s.pdf ; where there's also talk about VINTI) -- probably makes for an interesting read

Thea Coops kept a diary (maybe to be found in the Haague, see: http://www.denhaag.nl/home/bewoners/kunst-en-cultuur/haags-gemeentearchief.htm )

"Peek and cloppenburg" (?)

Thea married Jan Piet Frederik Herman Kloppenborg (1917 - 2002)

• "By the way the Coops sisters didn’t manage to identify this young lady, in the centre of the photo." (in the pdf above - theater adhoc)

"The maiden name of Henri LaFontaine’s mother was Philips." (family of the light bulb makers): Marie- Louise Philips (1826-1899) -- "a well-known feminist"

• Otlet worked with Philips in the 1930s to develop technology for the Mundaneum (e.g. Guide automatique des visiteurs) + seems that Igor Platounouff was employed by Philips! (some info here: http://www.uia.org/sites/uia.org/files/journals/Transnational_Associations_Journal_2003-1-2_0.pdf )

Louis Masure: (secretary to the IIB) -- in general, probably a reliable author for finding out how the searches functioned

• 
  
• IIB = Office International de Bibliographie
• 
  
• among his writings:
• 
  

            LIT: Institut international de bibliographie. Rapport sur la situation et les travaux pour l'année 1912                     
                    Louis Masure                                                                        Published in  1913 in Bruxelles by Institut international de                                                        bibliographie                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

• Boyd quotes Masure a lot.                          
• 
  
• On searches, Boyd says: 
• "Search Services and Strategies
• An international mail search service for the Institute's databases was instituted not long after they were set up, widely advertised and drew considerable business (Masure, 1913 ). Search results were copied for a fee (27 francs per 1000 ca rds or 5 centimes a card in 1902 [Rayw ard, 1975, p. 132]). Instructions for formulating searches were drawn up. The retrieval effects of search terms that were either too broad or too narrow were described and it was s uggested that request s should be formulated in terms of UDC numbers. In the Tables of the Classification "the degree of generality and specificity of each question is exactly determined by the context." Use of the Tables would prompt enquirers to both bibliographic completeness as well as exa ctness in the u se of terminology. However it was IIB policy that if a request was likely to produce more than 50 items users would be notified of this "to obviate surprise"(Communication des fiches, 1897). By 1912, requests numbered 1500 a year and subjects ranged from the boomerang to B ulgarian finances and coagulation of the blood. Searches continued to be made in the files ¾ both bibliographic and image or iconographic ¾ until the early 1970's when they became unavailable."  http://people.lis.illinois.edu/~wrayward/otlet/OriginsofInfoSci.htm

from a report to UNESCO:  http://www.unesco.org/new/fileadmin/MULTIMEDIA/HQ/CI/CI/pdf/mow/nomination_forms/belgium_universal_bibliographic_repertory.pdf
"Today, the Universal Bibliographic Repertory elaborated by the International Institute of Bibliography is a unique heritage. If at a certain time, some “copies” of this Repertory may have existed in other countries –
in France or in Switzerland –
following the cooperation between the IIB and the national sections, they do no longer exist today. 
The Concilium Bibliographicum in Switzerland and the Bureau Bibliographique de Paris (Bibliographic Bureau of Paris)
both ceased activity in the 1920s."

• So what happened to these "copies"/mirrors? What are their histories?

• LIT: 
• Information and Intrigue         From Index Cards to Dewey Decimals to Alger Hiss        By Colin B. Burke
•             "In the 1890s, the idealistic American Herbert Haviland Field established  the Concilium Bibliographicum, a Switzerland-based science information  service that sent millions of index cards to American and European  scientists. Field’s radical new idea was to index major ideas rather  than books or documents. In his struggle to create and maintain his  system, Field became entangled with nationalistic struggles over the  control of science information, the new system of American philanthropy  (powered by millionaires), the politics of an emerging American  professional science, and in the efforts of another information  visionary, Paul Otlet, to create a pre-digital worldwide database for  all subjects."

• "It reminds me of what Robert Darnton wrote about one of the cheaper  editions of the famous encyclopedia of Diderot and D’Alembert: 
• the  monstrous size of the project forced labourers to speed up: ‘A close  examination of any set will reveal a profusion of workers’ finger prints, 
• over inked pages, misfolded sheets’ (The Business of Enlightenment [1979], 274)."
• http://www.shellsandpebbles.com/2015/08/02/lost-in-digitization-postcolonial-heritage-production-bookish-art-and-the-workers-of-words-behind-google-books/
• 
  
• 
  
• "Lest this interpretation seem romanticized, it should be added
• that some mastery over the production process did not // mean that 
• the workers developed any special affection for the real masters of it.
• The bourgeois (ita.) retained most of the poower and manipulated it brutally,
• by hiring and firing, while the workers responded with the few devices at their
• disposal. They quit; they cheated on their voyage (ita.); they collected small
• advances on the new week's work (sale accent on e) and then disappeared; and
• sometimes they spied for rival publishers or the police. Although
• they may have felt some pride in their craft, they took shortcuts and compromised 
• on quality when it made labor easier. The results can be seen in any copy of the
• Encyclopedie today - clear, crisp typography for the most part,
• but margins askew here, pages misnumbered there, uneven register, unsightly spacing,
• typographical errors, and smudges -- all of them testimony to the activity
• of anonymous artisans two centuries ago." 
• (Robert Darnton, Business of Enlightenment: publishing history of the Encylcopedie, 1775-1800, Harvard Up, 1979, 227-228) 
• 
  
• 
  
• " To see into the life behind a fingerprint in the Encyclopedie is to 
• get some sense of how men moved through the obscure channels of working-class history,
• but Bonnemain's thumbmark also can be studied for its typograhical significance. 
• It illustrates a point that is difficult to appreciate in an age of automation:
• the printers of the Old Regime left their mark on their books -- literally,
• in Bonnemain's case, and figuratively in all the others. For each workman stamped each page
• with something of his individuality, and the quality of his craftmanship 
• affected the success of the product.
• Bonnemain's fingerprint really resulted from a typographical trick.
• By smearing the forme excessively with ink, he and his companion did not have
• to pull so hard at the bar of the press to get an impression. But the extra ink
• came off on their fingers and smudged the sheets during handling." (p. 230)
• 
  
• 
  
• "(If a printer's devil took a turn at the press, one could coat the
• bar with glue or ink, or one could produce bald spots on his sheets
• by surreptitiously touching the inked surface of his forme with one's fingertips;
• and a new boy at the casse (ita.) could always be asked to clean the ink out of the eye
• of a capital P, which was really an eyeless paragraph sign or pied de mouche (ita.).)" (243)

  • Many of the Pinky and the Brain episodes occur in the 1990s at Acme Labs, located in some large American city underneath a suspension bridge.  Several episodes take place in historical times, with Pinky and the  Brain in the laboratory of some scientifically-minded person, including Merlin,[2] H.G. Wells,[3] and Ivan Pavlov.[4] There is very little continuity  between episodes outside of the common fixtures of the mice, though  some plans for world domination from early episodes are subsequently  referred to in later seasons .........................................................................The Brain (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) looks and sounds a little like Orson Welles.

re: can it be fixed "Error creating thumbnail: Invalid thumbnail parameters"            -->>             files can't be used in galleries         

• "By default, MediaWiki has a maximum image dimension in pixels to allow  before thumbnail generation breaks and the file can't be uploaded. I  believe the current maximum dimensions are 3500×3500. The full sized  image on that link is 7720 X 4409. I'd recommend resizing the image to  25%, which should still upload a fairly generously large image while  getting under that thumbnail limit." http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:786656
