No full textPart 3 "Colors and coloring, Metalizing, Iridizing, and Lustering" of Beads from Gablonz.
During the 19th and 20th centuries, Gablonz in northern Bohemia (now Jablonec nad Nisou in the Czech Republic) was a major producer and supplier of glass and ceramic beads to the world market. This production center created beads of myriad forms, using all the major manufacturing methods. This detailed study provides a thorough overview of the various methods including patent details as well as information concerning bead names, shapes, coloring, decoration, sizing, stringing, and historic prices. The text is accompanied by numerous illustrations of the beads under discussion and the tools and apparatuses used to make, size, and string them. There is also a well-illustrated section on the pre-1913 sample cards of two major Gablonz companies, the Redlhammer Brothers and the Mahla Brothers

From the Guest Editor
Full text linkThe theme of this issue of the OLA Quarterly, “Collections: New Challenges, New Solutions,” was chosen to reflect the tension between an ever-changing library landscape and the ongoing obstacles that continue to affect the ways in which library collections are built, managed, and marketed. In many ways, library work related to collections looks significantly different today than it did even in the very recent past. Whether it’s responding to record-high levels of book challenges or making collections decisions against a backdrop of rapidly evolving information needs, library workers have been presented with a number of new challenges in their efforts to connect the communities they serve with resources that inform, entertain, and inspire. In spite of these developments, there are some areas of concern related to collections that remain evergreen. These include making impactful use of limited resources, working to provide equitable access to communities that have been historically underserved, and staying up to date on trends in the publishing industry and in the broader field of librarianship. The articles in this issue address these ideas and more, and showcase the creativity and innovation of the people working in Oregon's libraries.

Full text linkBeadmaking in France began in pre-Roman times. It reached its zenith in the 19th and 20th centuries when beads of sundry materials and styles were produced in both artisanal workshops and large factories to decorate a multitude of items and to serve as components of fashion jewelry. This article discusses the different beadmakers and their varied products
The Beads from Oudespost I, A Dutch East India Company Outpost, Cape, South Africa
Full text linkThe site of a provisioning station operated by the Dutch East India Company near the Cape of Good Hope during the late 17th and early 18th centuries produced a variety of European beads of several materials. A "typical" Dutch bead assemblage of the period, it is significant because it comes from one of very few independently dated bead-producing sites in southern Africa and, as such, will be instrumental in the formulation of a chronology for the beads found in this part of Africa
The Beads of Roman and Post-Medieval Antwerpen, Belgium
Full text linkExcavations conducted at several sites in Antwerpen, a principal city and seaport on the Schelde River in northern Belgium, have uncovered a small but significant collection of glass beads. These range from a decorated specimen of the Roman period to tubular square- and star-sectioned beads of the 16th-17th centuries. The Post-Medieval specimens, found in the cesspits of merchants' homes, give us an idea of what Antwerpen was exporting during the early part of this period
Powdered-Glass Beads and Bead Trade in Mauritania
Full text linkArtisans in Kiffa and several other towns in southern Mauritania have produced a unique kind of powdered-glass bead for several generations. Commonly called "Kiffa beads," they generally copy the designs and forms of ancient beads, as well as more recent European examples. This article discusses their history, manufacture and relevance in Mauritanian culture. While production of the beads recently ceased for a time, several women have again begun to make them though the new varieties are not as inspiring as their predecessors
