[Report on Studies in the History of Adult Education in Sweden].
Uddman, Ralph
In 1966, a campaign called "Operation Popular Education Memory" (Operation Folkbildningsminnen) was begun in Sweden. Its aim was to save old material and oral memories. The operation developed into nationwide cooperation among popular educational associations, universities, archives, and libraries. It continued under the management of the National Federation for Adult Educational Associations with additions to its original aim--to give continuous documentation on adult education, to arrange courses in the field of adult education history, and to train research workers. Six handbooks on these themes and on how to build up the archives in the adult educational associations were produced. Courses for training teachers, study circle leaders, and researchers were arranged on management of archives, guidelines for documentation, organization of archives, interviewing, and use of tape recorders. (Two enclosures are provided. The first lists proposals for discussions in the History of Adult Education study group at the International Conference on Adult Education World Assembly. (Buenos Aires, 1985). The second enclosure is an eight-page report on studies in adult education history in Sweden in 1985. It describes conferences, a recent report that provides an account of historical developments in popular education for the mentally ill, theses that have been devoted to popular education, and local history studies.)
