Extract

Between 1965 and 1985, the library of the FotoMuseum Provincie Antwerpen acquired three large collections: that of the library of the Association Belge de Photographie, the collection of magazines from Fritz L. Gruber and the company library of the photographic firm Agfa-Gevaert. The bibliographic activities associated with the history of photography were started in 1978 at the European Society for the History of Photography and resulted in a four-part History of photography: a bibliography of books, published 1989 to 1999. The FotoMuseum Provincie Antwerpen produced an augmented version of this bibliography on CD-ROM in 2003.
