>> The Hector Hodler Library
>> *History of the Library*
>>
>> Originally, the Biblioteko Hector Hodler was the book collection of the
>> Swiss Esperanto Society (Svisa Esperanto-Societo) founded in 1902. Several
>> years later, it was purchased by Hector Hodler of Geneva, the son of
>> well-known Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler. In 1913, the administrator of the
>> Universal Esperanto Association (Universala Esperanto-Asocio, UEA) in
>> Geneva, Hans Jakob, took charge of the collection. Following the death of
>> Hodler in March 1920 the books became the property of the UEA in accordance
>> with his will. At that time the collection consisted of three to four
>> thousand bibliographic items. Although in the following decades the
>> administrative headquarters of the UEA was transferred first to England and
>> then to the Netherlands, the Library remained in Geneva until 1962. During
>> this period the Center for Research and Documentation on World Language
>> Problems <http://www.esperantic.org/ced/crd.htm> (CRD) was founded by a
>> number of interlinguistics scholars associated with the UEA. When the UEA
>> and the CRD acquired a new headquarters in Rotterdam, it was decided that
>> the library material would be transferred from Geneva to Rotterdam, where it
>> would be available for the use of both organizations.
>>
>> *Significance of the Library*
>>
>> The Library is among the three most important collections in the world
>> specializing in literature in and about the international planned language
>> Esperanto and about the wider field of interlinguistics. Comparable are the
>> International Esperanto Museum (Internacia Esperanto-Muzeo) in Vienna
>> (linked to the Austrian National Library) and the library of the Esperanto
>> Association of Great Britain (Esperanto-Asocio de Britio) in London. Among
>> these three, the Hodler Library stands out not only for its attempt to be
>> exhaustive but also because the UEA and the CRD have taken on the
>> responsibility of assuring the continuity and usefulness of this high
>> quality collection. The Library has been and continues to be a documentation
>> resource used in the course of the editing of the UEA's official journal
>> (/Esperanto/ magazine), for other work carried out by its Central Office
>> staff, and for international research on interlinguistics. No other library
>> in the world receives practically every new publication in or about
>> Esperanto.
>>
>> *Contents*
>>
>> The Library consists of around 15,000 books and pamphlets, including bound
>> volumes of journals. In addition, it has a great number of unbound journals,
>> chiefly complete volumes. It also houses manuscripts, correspondence,
>> photos, audio discs and cassettes, videotapes, printed music, tourist items
>> (prospectuses, maps, postcards), posters, insignia, and postage stamps.
