Maybe this timeline would need some explanation......
The timeline in Brussels is an attempt to situate some of the events related to the life death and revival of Mondotheque in a broader context with regards both to local events and to broader international situation.
This timeline attempts to situate some events in several geographic locations at different scales, and hopefuly provoke cqrrelations in time and space, that could help us formulate questions about the ways all those local events take place and reformulate themselves in a global context.
The large archive ofthe Mundaneum was though by Paul Otlet with support of Henry Lafontaine motivated by a large ideal of peace at a time when occidental colonialism was at its high and the first tensions where only starting to manifest themselves, while at the same time war was at the door of modern european societies. It is in between war that the communication systems associated to Mundaneum were conceived. Some of them were thoughtas prospective possibilities, such as Mondotheque, but others were already implemented like international postal agreements that acted as networks of information-sharing to the general benefit of civil society.
