MHEA Conference & Seminar Books Through the Years

MHEA Catalogue Number Ten 1968

The Earliest Example of Marketing Material for the Association.

This catalogue serves as a promotional showcase highlighting the expertise and capabilities of the Association’s members. It appears to have been widely distributed across Europe and published in multiple languages, including English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. The fact that this edition is labeled as “Catalogue Ten” suggests that it is part of a long-standing series, likely produced over several years. Further investigation into the history of this publication reveals that references to the catalogue series were documented in the minutes of the 1958 Executive Committee meetings, indicating its significance and continued relevance within the Association.
