Central Tracing Agency

Abstract

We give below two articles, both concerning the same subject. The
first is a general survey by the Head of the Agency, Mr. E. L. Jaquet.
Readers are aware that the Swiss Government, on the occasion of
the Centenary of the Red Cross, decided to donate to the ICRC a
new building to house the Agency, for, indeed, this service is today
in a building which is not suitable for the protection of irreplaceable
records against the effects of light, fire, humidity and dust.
