30th Anniversary Congress of the Swiss Ex-libris ClubThe congress, which is open to all ex-libris collectors and researchers even if they are not SELC members, will take place at the Hotel Cailler.
FRIDAY, MAY 21st, 1999
12.00/14.00 - Hotel Cailler- Welcome and registration of participants. No registration fee will be charged for participation.
* Early ex-libris from Fribourg and the Suisse Romande. With a selection of pieces from one public and three private collections, this exhibition will show some of the most interesting bookplates from the French-speaking part of Switzerland between the 15th and 18th centuries. The «Suisse Romande» lies at the interface of Germanic and Latin aesthetic traditions, and the ex-libris of the area are a reflection of this situation.
* Swiss bookplates of the 20th century- Accompanied by a 160-page full colour publication, this exhibition is the result of a year's research by Josef Burch, Benoît Junod, Marianne Kalt and Julia Vermes. Some 300 items will be on show, considered by the curators to be the "best" of modern Swiss bookplates. There are many discoveries to be made!

FISAE's XXVIIIth International Ex Libris CongressWe are pleased to announce that for the first time in history the FISAE's XXVIIIth International Ex Libris Congress will be held in the United States and indeed in the American continent.
Mr. James P. Keenan is in charge of the Congress organization in Boston.
In due time we will post more detailed information on this event which, we hope, will be a turning point and a limestone in the history of Bookplate Congresses. It is an international recognition from the bookplate lovers community of the hard work and strenuous efforts made over the years by a couple of American bookplate lovers.
