David Lubin Memorial Library
The David Lubin Memorial Library is the main library of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Its world-renowned collection consists of technical material related to food, nutrition, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, with emphasis on developing countries. The core of its historical collection is the library of the International Institute of Agriculture (IIA), whose assets were entrusted to FAO when the IIA was disbanded in 1946.
==Historical background==
The "Hot Springs Conference," of 1943 (Virginia, USA)〔 resulted in the establishment of an Interim Commission on Food and Agriculture based in Washington, D.C. During this period, custodianship of the IIA's library was maintained in Rome by FAO's European Regional Office.
The foundations for a central FAO library were laid in 1945, in Article I of FAO's Constitution, which states that the organization: "shall collect, analyse, interpret and disseminate information relating to nutrition, food and agriculture."〔"."〕
The first FAO librarian was appointed in Rome in 1946. In 1950, FAO's governing Conference voted to merge the technical libraries in Rome and Washington, D.C. with the library collection of the IIA, basing the entire collection in Rome.〔"."〕 The new library was named after David Lubin, in recognition of his service in the founding of the IIA. Combined, this library constituted the second largest agricultural library in the world〔
