extensive collection of papermaking moulds and is now posting them online. There are very few collections of paper moulds in the world and,
although a few moulds are on display in paper museums, as far as we know,
none of the main collections are accessible to the public. This is also the
first online collection of photographs of moulds. Papermaking moulds
are beautiful as such and they have been the defining tool for the craft for

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

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.
