none of the main collections are accessible to the public. This is also the

Heiner Schmidt-Westman
Am
15. März 2008 verstarb, nach langer Krankheit, unser langjähriges Vorstandsmitglied und erfolgreicher Redaktor der sph-Kontakte, Heiner Schmidt. Heiner war,
wie kaum jemand, Redaktor aus Leidenschaft. Als Sohn eines deutschen Vaters und einer
Schweizer Mutter, verheiratet mit einer Schwedin, war sein internationales Interesse gegeben.
Von seinem Großvater, dem Stadtarchivar Basels, Rudolf Wackernagel, erbte er das Interesse für die Geschichte und den Druck. Sein erster Beruf als Typograph und seine
Tätigkeit im Verkauf für die Papierindustrie
vermittelten die Liebe zum Druck und
Papier. Über viele Jahre durften wir als Schweizer
Papierhistoriker von
seinen hervorragenden Artikeln
und vielfältigen
Kontakten profitieren. Wir
sind Heiner Schmidt zu größtem Dank verpflichtet und sein Wirken werden wir in bleibender
Erinnerung behalten. Aktuar Rolf Maisch Protocol of the 2008 IPH General Meeting in For the word-document of

making paper by hand The IPH has lost its most
prominent member Henk Voorn,
who died in Henk Voorn has been an active paper historian since his early
years in the paper business. Henk's life story is
that of the self-educated man who becomes obsessed with his work and hobby
and develops into a universally recognized authority in his field of
expertise: the history of papermaking. Born in From its foundation in
1946 Henk was the first editor of the magazine
'Paper World' (Papierwereld). Three years
later he made his first large financial investment and became the owner. In
the more than 30 years that followed (until 1980 when the periodical was
discontinued) he had a fulltime job as a publisher, being himself the most
important contributor of articles and news items. At the same time Henk was actively collecting literature, documents and
objects related to paperhistory. His home in He was a pioneer in Dutch
paperhistory, the author of 'The History of the
Dutch Paper Industry' (De geschiedenis der Nederlandse papierindustrie), his magnum opus, published in
three bulky volumes in 1960, 1973 and 1985. He had received the official
commission to write this history from the Association of Dutch Paper
Manufacturers in 1954. For this purpose the Foundation for the Research of
the History of the Paper Industry in The His vast network of
international contacts developed into the International Association of Paper
Historians, which was offically founded in In 1971 his collection
was acquired by the Dutch Royal Library in When he reached the age
of 65 Henk was forced to retire as a curator of HIS
collection at the Dutch Royal Library, obligatory under Dutch law. I was
witness to his farewell and honoured to be his successor, appointed three
months before, in order to ensure a smooth transition. On this occasion Henk received a Festschrift titled VOORNamelijk
papier ('Primarily Paper'), which contains
contributions by - among others - his close friends and paper historians Henk's life has
known grief and sorrow as well. He lost his wife who died too young in 1980,
and later on also his daughter and his son-in-law. In his last years his
health was deteriorating and he was forced to move to a nursing home in In Henk
Voorn we lose a good friend and a great scholar,
who will live on in our memories.
