    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 1927-09-30) International Library and Bibliographical Committee
    Full text of IFLA's founding document from 30 September 1927 that states: "We, the undersigned representatives of National Library Associations, in conference at Edinburgh, 30th Sept. 1927 adopt the following resolution with the understanding that neither this action nor any action which may hereafter be taken by the Committee shall be binding on any national library association until ratified by the association. Resolved that we hereby establish the International Library and Bibliographical Committee." First published in Actes du Comite International des Bibliotheques 1.
