Sebastiaan Berntsen works on conservation and management of the NINO archives, including a number of subcollections, namely our “Ahnengalerie”, the Böhl papers, and the Böhl photographic collection.
Many of the NINO archives have been transferred into the care of Leiden University Libraries’ Special Collections in 2024. They will soon be included in the UBL catalogue, available to be requested for on-site viewing.
For more information on the NINO Archives at UBL, you may contact Sebastiaan Berntsen.
