INTERNATIONAL KIERKEGAARD NEWSLETTER: l Autumn 1979 Copenhagen Kierkegaard Report - Seren Kierkegaard Biblioteket: Space and time problem; One of the problems of the S. K. Bibliotek is that sometimes too many researchers come in one period and too few in another with the result that there can be shorta^e of either space or contact with fellow researchers should one particularly be hoping for the latter. We hope to try and help ease this problem a little by making it known through these reports how many are using the Bibliotek. We have only 4 desks in the Bibliotek itself. Use of these can be booked (if they are free) when writing to the secretary/ Professor Thulstrup about the proposed research trip. There are of course several other libraries in the building and it is always possible to use the S. K. Bibliotek desks, but it is not possible to leave books and papers etc. on them. In the main S. K. Bibliotek, we have at the moment 2 researchers staying until summer 198C, and one staying pcssibly until 1982, (from Japan, the U.S. and Germany), while Danish students often use the Bibliotek for short periods. Of the two desks in the extra room, one of these is still free at present, but this room may not be available in future s a private one. Seren Kierkegaard Bibliotek books; For prospective researchers wanting to know which books not to bring with them, a list of the books in the S. K. Bibliotek is in preparation (a very rough list already available). When finished, the list will be sent to key Kierkegaard research places in the U. S. and elsewhere (or can be obtained through the address at the end of this report). Typing facilities; These have at last been improved so that we now have one fast corner in the tea-kitchen where researchers can type. The machine is a lars manual Adler, and we have a proper typing desk, chair and lamp, with a little side-table if one has a lot of papers. Corning to the Bibliotek; New visitors to the S. K. Bibliotek should note that the entrance is no. 46 Kebmagergade, under the arch immediately to the right of a dress/clothes' shop called Nicolai, then in at the door on the right in the yard. For those who have been unlucky enough not to have secured accommodation before coming to Copenhagen, make for the S. K. Bibliotek on the Jrd floor (best time between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.). Here you can get a Bibliotek key from the secretary, and in the Bibliotek itself on the table is an Information File which can help you solve your accommodation problems by telling you of places where you can start looking. (Accommodation is one of our major problems). Information File;; Our new Information File tries to cover the problems met by every new S. K. researcher here. There is Information about accommodation, cheap eating places and stores, how to find your way about the building, Copenhagen, Gilleleje, etc. Wednesdays; If you want to meet current S. K. researchers and be sure of personal guidance through the building1s intricacies, come on a Wednesday morning when we usually gather in the tea-kitchen for a chat over tea/coffee. Other; For those who have researched at the S. K. Bibliotek and had any particular problems not mentioned here, or have any suggestions they would like taken up, please write to: Julia Watkin, Stenagervej 15, 29CC Copenhagen Hellerup, Denmark, and I'll do my best to see what we can do.

INTERNATIONAL KIERKEGAARD NEWSLETTSR:

2 Autumn 1980

Last year s a trial run I sent out the Autumn 1979 Newsletter to several places to see if there was a demand for a Kierkegaard Newsletter that would keep Kierkegaard scholars informed about the Kierkegaard scene at an international level. As my starting point I began with Information about the S0ren Kierkegaard Sibliotek in Copenhagen, the idea being that recipients of the Newsletter would collect up the yearly ccpies in a file, no Information being unnecessarily repeated. The Newsletter went down very well indeed and will continue this year on the same basis, except that you will all be compiling it, i.e. this Newsletter will be your open communication channel when you want to inform other scholars about Kierkegaard societies, books and Conferences, share probleins, etc. I will faithfully do my best to see that everything srets included, bearing in mind available space, and if I have not/do not mention any particular Kierkegaard society, Conference or problem, this will be through ignorance. So please keep me informed. The Seren Kierkegaard Bibliotek Copenhagen; (See also Newsletter l). We have at present researching here until Christmas a_Creek Scholar from Germany and Professor Howard and Edna Hong from the Kierkegaarc Library, Northfield, Minnesota. Seren Kierkegaard Libraries; The Copenhagen Seren Kierkegaard Bibliotek in practice is not limited to the library on the 3rd floor of the University theology department. Apart from its own collection of 19th Century and modern Kierkegaard literature, the Bibliotek borrows books for researchers directly from the Royal Library, while there are several theological libraries in the rest of the theology block (all books listed in the fslleskartotek, 4th floor). The University philosophy department is at Kebmagergade 50, and the University Library in nearby Fiolstrsede is a valuable source of 19th Century material. The new University campus with other departinents is situated on Amager. Further details about the Royal Library, which houses original Kierkegaard Mss., are to be found in the S0ren Kierkegaard Bibliotek Information File and in brochures in the Bibliotek. The Howard and Sdna Hong 3grenKierkegaard Library. St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minnesota, U.S.A., contains a partial reconstitution of the personal library of Saren Kierkegaard, has about 6,500 vols. and a complete microfilm set of the Mss. of Kierkegaard's Works and Papers.

McGill University Montreal; has recently acquired a collection of books owned by the later Gree-or Malantschuk. This collection, a partial reconstitution of the
personal library of Seren Kierkegaard and other related Kierkegaard material,

is housed s the Kierkegaard-Malantschuk Collection in McGill University's Redpath

Library. The University Library of course also possesses secondary Kierkegaard literature. McGill's speciality is Computer research (Prof. Alastair McKinnon, Dept. of Philosophy). Other Libraries; Details about the facilities of other libraries welcomed for the next issue.

Lectures are held in Copenhagen from Autumn to Spring.

Kierkegaard Societies in Italy; I am hoping to provide Information about Italian Seren Kierkegaard Society membership in the next issue. Kierkegaard Societies in Japan; Like Italy, Japan now has a, long-standing tradition of S0ren Kierkegaard Society membership, and I hope to be able to give more concrete Information in the next issue of this Newsletter.

Higher Research on Kierkegaard; Please will you let me know if your University/ College Dept. provides opportunities for doctoral research etc. I am trying to build up an Information bank so s to be able to reply to enquiry in this direction. Microfiche; Kierkegaard research in many places has reached the stage where there is a demand for access to original Mss. and 19th c. literature. McGill University (Alastair McKinnon) is investigating the possibility of making microfiche copies of first editions and important works. I am investigating the possibility of a microfiche of the Mss. of Kierkegaard's Works and Papers. Please let me know if you or your Dept. would be interested in buying a set plus reading apparatus, or just a set without reading apparatus, s it is possible that a large joint order might reduce the price. I'm still investigating this latter matter and hope to provide more (price) details fairly soon. Cost of this Newsletter; At present this Newsletter is free and it is hoped to keep it that way. A lot depends of course on the demand for copies and the availability of money to cover costs. You can help in this direction by photo-copy.ing your copy and regularly sending a copy/copies further. You are welcome to translate/reproduce the whole or parts of this letter. Pagination; Please note the pagination of this Newsletter. This is to enable you to collect the Newsletters in a ring-file and eventually write up a rough index. (To cut costs Information will not normally be repeated). I enclose with this issue an appropriate poster for College departments, etc., but of course you are welcome to make your own. Pleasg do let me hear from you before Oct. 1981, the date of the next issue. Please let me know a. whether you wish me to send you the Newsletter next year. b. whether you can send a photo-copy/copies of the Newsletter further, and (in order to avoid duplication of efforts) if so, where you will be sending it.
