Extract

When I started working in the Manuscript Department of the Public and University Library of Geneva in November 1941, the Henry Dunant Archives had not yet been classified nor catalogued. Some of these, thrown haphazard into a case, finally reached the Library after many vicissitudes by reason of a bequest made by the inheritor of Dunant's papers, his nephew Maurice Dunant, who died in 1931. Another part of these archives were still being preserved by Madame Maurice Dunant. Furthermore, other documents had been lent by the Dunant family to private individuals who were reluctant to part with them.
