The title of the annual CERL Seminar, which in 2010 was organised in collaboration with the LIBER Steering Committee for Heritage Collections and Preservation, was ‘Virtual Visits to Lost Libraries: reconstruction of and access to dispersed collections’. Participants in the seminar, which took place in the
prestigious Harsdorff Hall in the old Royal Library building, now part of the National Archives of Denmark, agreed they looked forward to the publication of an interesting and thought-provoking set of papers (scheduled for November 2011).
The papers from the 2010 Annual Seminar were published in November 2011 as as CERL Papers XI.
