ELOISE REQUA:
|
| She was a woman of her times
- and one of ours. Eloise ReQua was a remarkable woman who founded the
Library of International Relations in an era of global isolationism - 1932.
Yet she foresaw today's interconnected world and its need for global thinking
in all fields of human endeavor.
A 1924 history and economics graduate of Bryn Mawr College, Miss ReQua continued her graduate studies in international trade at Bryn Mawr and the Geneva School of International Studies. Her keen interest and knowledge of foreign affairs, grounded in and cultivated through, friendships with business executives, scholars, and diplomats from around the world, led her to create a collection of materials for the public that would facilitate an understanding of the countries of the world. The library she created is today one of the world's premier research and reference centers for information on international trade & business, history, culture, and law. The staff of today's LIR stands as testament to Eloise ReQua's compelling vision and continues her mission; to foster mutual understanding, goodwill, and cooperation among the peoples and governments of the world by making its resources available worldwide.
