Abstract

Six qualities of Nordic civilisation are identified: the spirit of co-operation which links the five Nordic countries; the acceptance of the differing identities of distinct countries, places, and cultural traditions; mutuality of individuals and society; commonality the inclusion of everybody; care of the environment; and world citizenship. While the Nordic spirit of co-operation in particular is exemplified by ARLIS NORDEN, each of these qualities is perceived to have implications for the arts, for art libraries, and for ARLIS NORDEN, and together they illuminate an international role for art librarians to help each other to serve local communities and to cherish local arts.
