Portions of his personal library are housed at the Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo (INTEC) in the Dominican Republic and Florida International University (FIU).","The materials within the collection provide researchers with a detailed view of Florén's professional legacy and the development of librarianship in Latin America. They also serve as a testament to his philosophical and artistic reflections, particularly in the context of the Spanish Civil War and its influence on his scholarly pursuits.","Luis Florén Lozano (1913–1973) fue un pionero bibliógrafo, bibliotecario y educador cuya carrera transformó la bibliotecología en América Latina. Comenzó como director de la Biblioteca de la Universidad de Santo Domingo (1940–1953), donde modernizó las prácticas bibliotecarias en la República Dominicana. En 1953, asumió el cargo de jefe del Servicio de Intercambio Científico en el Centro Interamericano de Vivienda y Planeamiento Urbano (CINVA) en Bogotá, Colombia, donde colaboró con figuras notables de la bibliotecología, como Rubén Pérez Ortiz, y desempeñó un papel clave en la organización de las Primeras Jornadas Bibliotecarias. En 1959, Florén asumió el cargo de director de la Escuela Interamericana de Bibliotecología (EIB) en Medellín, Colombia, liderando iniciativas como la creación de la Asociación Colombiana de Bibliotecarios Agrícolas (BAC) y la Asociación Latinoamericana de Escuelas de Bibliotecología y Ciencias de la Información (ALEBCI). A lo largo de su carrera, representó a Colombia en foros internacionales, asesoró en la creación de la Biblioteca Nacional de la República Dominicana en 1969 y fue autor de numerosos artículos, ensayos y bibliografías.","Los Colecciones de Luis Florén Lozano (1913–1973) documentan sus extensas contribuciones a la bibliotecología y la educación en América Latina. Esta colección comprende 23 cajas archivísticas y 204 carpetas, detallando sus roles profesionales y sus intereses personales. Incluye comunicaciones, cartas, documentos, fotografías, dibujos, manuscritos, recortes de prensa, publicaciones y postales. Estos materiales relatan su labor como director de la biblioteca de la Universidad de Santo Domingo, su gestión en el CINVA en Bogotá y su liderazgo en la EIB en Medellín. La colección también refleja los profundos intereses intelectuales y personales de Florén, incluyendo una biblioteca personal de aproximadamente 6,000 volúmenes sobre historia, literatura, arte y bibliotecología de España, República Dominicana y Colombia. Muchos de sus libros incluyen un exlibris diseñado por él, que ilustra el impacto duradero de la Guerra Civil Española en su vida y exilio.","Componentes significativos de la colección destacan sus esfuerzos por modernizar los sistemas bibliotecarios, fomentar la colaboración regional y elevar el estatus de la bibliotecología en Colombia y América Latina. El archivo también subraya su papel en la fundación de asociaciones profesionales, la organización de conferencias emblemáticas y el avance de la profesión a nivel internacional. Parte de su biblioteca personal se encuentra alojada en el Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo (INTEC) en la República Dominicana y en la Universidad Internacional de Florida (FIU).","Los materiales de la colección proporcionan a los investigadores una visión detallada del legado profesional de Florén y del desarrollo de la bibliotecología en América Latina. También son un testimonio de sus reflexiones filosóficas y artísticas, particularmente en el contexto de la Guerra Civil Española y su influencia en sus intereses académicos."],"relatedmaterial_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eBlasco, J.

Gentges was born on February 12, 1918, in Farmington, Missouri. Prior to his enlistment in April of 1941, he worked as a laundry foreman who enjoyed classical music and writing. At the age of 23 the Selective Service Act of September 1940 required him to enlist. By April 1941 he was training at Camp Claiborne in Louisiana where he became a rifleman and staff sergeant for the Infantry's 113th Regiment in the 34th Infantry Division nicknamed \"Red Bull Division.\" From February 1942 to October 1944 he served in the European African Middle Eastern Theatre in the Tunisian Campaign, Rome-Arno campaign, and North Apennines Campaign. His service ended abruptly on October 19, 1944 in Cecina, Italy when he received a gunshot wound which broke his femur, for which he was awarded his third Purple Heart Medal. Aside from Purple Heart, Gentges was also awarded a Bronze Star Medal, 5 overseas service bars, one three-year service stripe, a combat infantry badge, an American defense service ribbon, and maintained good conduct throughout his service. The details of his service can be found in his memoir compiled by his daughter in 2001 and contained in the collection.\n \nIt is evident in Gentges memoirs, diary entries, and letters that he is a devout Catholic. He attended mass in both England and Ireland where he observed the Catholic/Protestant controversy and was particularly impressed with the religiosity of Ireland. When serving in Italy, he visited Rome twice where the Pope blessed his rosary. Later, Gentges became a member of the Society for the Propagation of Faith and wrote a letter to the society saying that he detested his destructive job, especially as a man of god, but understood his duty to his country. Gentges wrote \"at present I'm in the hospital with a battle injury. Soon I must return with rifle in hand to the job I detest. A man has a duty toward his country. Thus I attempt to do the best my poor abilities as a soldier will permit. Otherwise I leave everything else to whatever God wills\".  \n \nAfter officially leaving the service in August of 1945, Gentges married Florence Schwartz whom he had known since a youth on October 27, 1945 in their hometown of Farmington, Missouri. Beginning as childhood friends, Gentges admitted that once he had never had feelings for Florence, but through their letters during his service he realized his feelings for her. From then they were set to get married upon his return to the United States. Their relationship can be traced through their letters which have been copied and partially transcribed by their only daughter Mary Gentges. Charles R. Gentges passed away on February 13, 2006 and is buried along with his wife Florence and daugther Mary Elizabeth Gentges in Mount Calvary Cemetery, Saint Marys, Kansas, MO.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","This collection relates to Staff Sergeant Charles R.
