5th International Congress of Vexillology — London, England
Organized by the Flag Institute on 13–18 September 1973.
The proceedings were never published as a single volume. Some of the papers are linked here; some were published in other venues, as shown below; yet others remain unpublished.
“Of the ten papers presented at the Congress, three have been published in the Flag Bulletin and seven have not been published anywhere. FI could not find a copy of the following four unpublished papers: (1) H. Michael Madaus, “The Evolution of the Color Guard in the US Army”; (2) C. Pama, “Republic Flags in South Africa in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries’; (3) Georges Pasch, “Les fonctions du drapeaux et le développement de la conscience socio-politique”; and (4) J.H. Rombach & Klaes Sierksma, “Les drapeaux officiels aux Pays-Bas.” If anyone has a copy of one of these papers, please contact FI. The remaining three unpublished papers found by FI will be published on FI’s website along with a list of the papers published in the Flag Bulletin and the names of the four papers that could not be found. This will conclude the publication of the ICV 5 proceedings.” (Info-FIAV 24/2007, p. 8). The Flag Institute managed to locate some in the mean time and shall publish them on line soon.
Unfortunately, FIAV’s request to publish the papers from the Flag Bulletin on this website was refused by the Flag Research Center.
