 +From the 26th to the 30th of April 2021 the National Library Mariano Moreno held the "V Encuentro Nacional de Instituciones con Fondos Antiguos y Raros" (5th National Meeting of Institutions with Ancient and Rare Books); this year's theme was "A heritage approach to Provenance". Librarians, historians and other professionals from 22 countries presented their research.
 +The event had several partners, including CERL. As a way of sharing information and stimulating research, the Meeting organized a virtual exhibition with the provenance of 13 libraries.

 +During her CERL internship (2019-20) at the University of Groningen Library, Anna de Bruyn made some wonderful discoveries about former book users and owners. She brought this material together in an online exhibition, which is now available in Dutch and English on the university website. It gives insight into the history of the incunabula and the collection, and it shows that the work does not end with the internship: Anna writes 'I still visit the special collections regularly and my work there gave me lots of new ideas, so many thanks to CERL for that'.

 + 
 +This striking manuscript, with numerous illustrations of coat of arms, lists more than 900 donors and about 3300 donations. Scholars, politicians, merchants, refugees as well as ambassadors donated books and objects such as portraits or coins to the Zurich Public Library. In return, the donors were immortalised with an entry in the Benefactors’ Book. 
 +In addition to the donors identified, the electronic edition contains the bibliographical information of the donated titles. In many cases, the exact copies are also identified, which are part of the Zentralbibliothek Zürich's vast collection today. The names, titles and shelfmarks of the copies of the Zentralbibliothek are searchable in full-text (via the search field at the top right). 
 +The second volume of the Benefactors’ Book (1774-1860) is available as digital reproduction as well, an electronic edition of the same is still in progress at the moment (http://doi.org/10.7891/e-manuscripta-66089).

->   [[http://www.bibsoc.org.uk/electronic-publications.htm|The Bibliographical Society : Electronic Publications]] 
->   David Pearson offers this list as work in progress to construct a reference source on seventeenth-century English book owners, based on various kinds of evidence. It does not seek to cover Scottish and Irish owners, unless they were predominantly English-based. The aim is to focus on collections which were at least partly, if not entirely, formed within the seventeenth century and the list includes people who died between 1610 and 1715. The author hopes that the list may already have enough data to be useful in various kinds of ways, and that it will stimulate responses and ideas as to how it should be developed.
