National Centres and National Committees


pp. 183-184


M. Paul Delsemme outlined three points for consideration:

  1. the present situation;
  2. creation of new Centres;
  3. how to attract new members.
There seemed to be some confusion between the two categories and whether it was necessary to have both: this might be the subject of discussion at some future meeting.

Centres

Netherlands Contacts continued between the universities and the amateur theatre.

Belgium A Centre was created in 1972 but had not expanded as much as had been hoped.

Germany (West) The member institutions of which there were 10 in 1978 were in close co-operation within the Centre. There were two categories: 1) theatre libraries concerned with the works of the same country: was this a Centre or an official association? Collaboration between them was easy; 2) Committees grouped by collections. The problem was not the relationship between the members but to discover the best legal status which would help in the furtherance of the work.

France The past year had been chiefly concerned with plans to prepare for  automation all the basic elements on theatre production.

Great Britain There was nothing to report.

Committees

Catalan There was nothing to report.

Austria The Committee specialised in all aspects of theatre: museum, cinema, marionettes, dance and circus. The first point to solve was how to incorporate large public libraries which have large theatre collections and secondly how to invite owners of large private collections of theatre material to co-operate. The development of TANDEM had brought other libraries closer together in information work, but the private collection, even with restricted access, would be a valuable asset.'

Denmark It was hoped that there would be a Scandinavian Centre next year based in Oslo, Stockholm or Copenhagen.

Yugoslavia There was every possibility that the range of SIBMAS activities would soon be extended to include Zagreb, Skopje and Ljubljana.

Hungary There was a National Committee.

Poland There were plans to create a Slavonic Centre by linking Warsaw, Krakow and Gdansk in the first instance.
