ABSTRACT

In 2010 Jaap Kloosterman took the initiative to start the Memory Project. Most of the collaborators in the Collection Development Department were due to retire soon, often after decades of work at the iish, and much of the knowledge about the collections would probably get lost when they retired. The goal of the Memory Project was to give them the opportunity to record in articles or web presentations information about (parts of) the collections that was stored in their memory, but for various reasons could not be incorporated in the standard catalogues or archival descriptions. This contribution is one of the results of this project.
