The Flemish Committee of France is a French association, constituted as a scholarly and cultural society with publishing responsibilities. It is dedicated to the study, preservation and dissemination of Flemish culture in French Flanders, with particular emphasis on language, literature and history.[1][2] Established on April 10, 1853, in Dunkirk[3][4] under the French designation Comité flamand de France,[note 1] the society was founded under the leadership of Edmond de Coussemaker.[9][10] It has operated continuously under this name since its inception and, through the publication of a bulletin and annals, as well as the organisation of lectures, ranks among the oldest learned societies in France.

The committee is based in Hazebrouck,[11] where it maintains a specialised library that houses its own publications alongside a collection of regional works.[12][13] It is also entrusted with the custodianship of the collections of the Jeanne Devos Museum in Wormhout.[14]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Although the founding members of the Comité flamand de France did not formally designate a vernacular name for this learned society, several historical West Flemish appellations can nonetheless be identified, including Vlaemsch Comiteit van Vrankryk[5] and Vlaemsch Comiteyt van Vrankryk.[6] Of these, Vlaemsch Comiteit van Vrankryk, as employed by the Flemish poet Prudens van Duyse, is preferable, as it adheres more closely to contemporary Dutch orthographic conventions while exhibiting fewer dialectal idiosyncrasies. Regarding the standard Dutch rendition, the designation advanced by the late Jaak J.H. Veltmans, former chairman of the Algemeen Nederlands Verbond, Vlaams Komitee van Frankrijk,[7] represents a more modern and linguistically conventional alternative to that proposed by the Frisian dialectologist Johan Winkler, Vlaamsch Genootschap van Frankrijk.[8]
