Abstract :
The “Kultuurbibliotheek [voor West-Vlaanderen]”, which was instaured in February 1957 is one of the nicest examples of what a well-organized, non-academic library of general cultural relevance can achieve. In less than half a century the library has constituted a collection of some 90.000 volumes, some of which are extremely rare preciosa, testifying to the rich cultural past of Flanders. A special exhibit of part of the Kultuurbibliotheek collections dealing with the history of the Dutch language was organized at the “Kredietbank” in Bruges, and the present booklet constitutes the catalogue of this exhibit.
