The first comprehensive guide in English to libraries and archives
in Belgium, The Netherlands, and Luxembourg, this book gives
humanities and social science researchers easy access to numerous
important unexplored collections. The detailed entries fill the
void between international directories (which provide minimal
information) and country-specific guides in the vernacular (which
are largely unknown to U.S. scholars). The thorough descriptions
are based on selected on-site visits, direct correspondence with
researchers, librarians, and archivists, and bibliographic research
about the collections. Part I contains a 90-page, annotated
bibliography covering five categories of publications: national
bibliographies, union catalogs, biographical dictionaries,
directories and guides to collections, and subject guides and
bibliographies. Part II provides detailed descriptions of the
principal research collections in Belgium, The Netherlands, and
Luxembourg. The descriptions include basic directory information,
profiles and histories, notes on special collections, and details
on regulations affecting access. Institutional, subject, and author
and title indexes are also provided. This book is an important
research tool for national and academic libraries and archives,
museums, scholars of social science, and Netherlandic studies, and
European Community depository libraries.
