All rights reserved. 3 INTRODUCTION Dear members and friends of eabh, Photographs are a key part of the archival collections of many financial institutions. Their emotional charge, their documentary power, their immediacy and universality set them apart from other archival documents. Used well, they provide an asset for any financial institution. This volume features articles from 17 financial institutions in eleven different countries. Almost 300 photographs provide glimpses of institutional practice over a span of 150 years. The photographs reveal stories about staff members, office buildings, and money; and they tell us about fashion, cultural movements, financial and industrial innovation, poverty, gender, colonization, leisure, and much more. This issue is the first of a series, and part of a wider project to explore the connections between finance and photography. eabh would like to invite its member and partner eabh institutions to join in by contributing to the second volume of the series.

  • What Can We Learn from the Large Banker Dynasties? – Report on the Annual Conference of EABH*
    Financial and Economic Review, Vol. 16 Issue 3., September 2017, pp. 172–176. What Can We Learn from the Large Banker Dynasties? – Report on the Annual Conference of EABH* Pál Péter Kolozsi EABH (European Association for Banking and Financial History), dealing with processing and presenting the history of the banking, financial and insurance sectors, organised its annual conference in Paris on 23 June 2017 with the title „The legacy of the haute-banque in the world – from the 19th to the 21st century”. The presentations of the conference discussed the financial-historical development, golden age and decline of the 19th century family-held private banks („haute- banque”), with special regard to the French banking houses. On the eve of the conference, Jacques de Larosière, ex-Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), former Chairman of the French central bank, and Advisor to the Chairman of BNP Paribas, greeted the participants. He stated that there is no unambiguous definition of „haute-banque”, but it is certain that these family-held banks were the primary embodiment of financial confidence, since these bankers were fully liable for the investments with their total assets. Rather than merging capital, specific persons joined forces, – pointed out Jacques de Larosière, winner of the MNB Lámfalussy Award of 2017, according to whom the “haute- banque” model is in sharp contrast with the modern banking system, whose primary challenge is exactly the creation of confidence. According to the famous French financial expert, although the family-held banking houses are certainly outdated, we can still learn from their examples today, with special regard to assuming liability by bankers, the conservative risk profile, and the importance of personal trust.

  • Banks at War I: Financial Institutions Confronted by the Great War. 2014 Archival Workshop 12 June 2014 Swiss Re, Rueschlikon, Switzerland
    Banks at War I: Financial Institutions confronted by the Great War. 2014 Archival Workshop 12 June 2014 Swiss Re, Rueschlikon, Switzerland jointly organised by EABH (European Association for Banking and Financial History e.V.) and Swiss Re This project aims to reconstitute the reaction and adaption of banks and insurance companies in the first days, weeks and months of what became the Great War. The objective is to deliver a comprehensive study, rich with case studies and illustrations from different international archival centers. Banks and insurance companies were altogether competing against each other and complementing their activities on a global level in Germany and France. All of a sudden, war imposed drastic borders between two fighting camps and created two economic and finance areas. Governments had to finance the immediate needs of military entities. Moreover, the creation of an ‘economics of war’ fostered a new structure of productive processes, where banks and insurance companies assumed their functions and tasks. How did banks and insurance companies fare throughout the conflict? Records of loans to companies offer a good way of understanding the economic war effort and the policy of investment. Archival sources could foster analysis of the destabilizing aspects of war of the new role of the state imposed on business and daily life. Archival materials offer excellent opportunities for (comparative) analysis of the changing strategies and business models as a reaction to crises, which also created barriers to free markets and exchanges.

  • Corporate Ownership and Control in Victorian Britain
    eabh Papers | No. 14-02 | January 2014 Corporate Ownership and Control in Victorian Britain Graeme G. Acheson* University of Stirling Gareth Campbell** Queen’s University Belfast John D. Turner*** Queen’ s University Belfast Nadia Vanteeva**** I-Shou University Abstract: Using ownership and control data for 890 firm-years, this paper examines the concentration of capital and voting rights in British companies in the second half of the nineteenth century. We find that both capital and voting rights were diffuse by modern-day standards. This implies that ownership was separated from control in the UK much earlier than previously thought, and given that it occurred in an era with weak shareholder protection law, it undermines the influential law and finance hypothesis. We also find that diffuse ownership is correlated with large boards, a London head office, non-linear voting rights, and shares traded on multiple markets. JEL Classification: G32, K22, N24. Keywords: Corporate ownership and control, law and finance hypothesis, shareholder protection law, British financial history. Acknowledgements: Thanks to the Leverhulme Trust (Grant no. F/00203/Z) for financial support. Turner also wishes to thank Geoff Jones, Walter Friedman and Harvard Business School for their hospitality at the outset of this project.
