Polar Libraries Colloquy

The Polar Libraries Colloquy is an international forum through which librarians and others concerned with the collection, preservation, and dissemination of information dealing with the Arctic and Antarctic regions, discuss issues of mutual interest and promote initiatives leading to improved collections and services. The Colloquy meets biennially, traditionally alternating between Europe and North America. The first meeting of this organization, then called The Colloquy on Northern Library Resources was held in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, June 16-17, 1971.
