Abstract

Briefer mention* The Nederlands Persmuseum [Dutch Press Museum] deserves to be better known. As early as I902, this museum began trying to build up a representative collection of Dutch newspapers and magazines. Until Ig88, this work had to be done with the help of donations and volunteer workers as well as retired journalists and others who appreciated the collections. Hence the title of the recent book about the museum: Het Nederlands Persmuseum: liefdewerk oud papier (Amsterdam, Stichting Het Nederlands Pers- museum, Igg2, 152 pp., illus., ISBN go-73'735-03-3? f 45). The last part of the title (literally 'charity work with old paper') is an expression that suggests that all of the work is carried out free of charge, and that originates in the door to door collection of old paper, including newspapers, to be sold for the benefit of some 'good cause'. The book has three chapters. The first tells the often difficult history of the museum. It began with the enormous, unsorted J.L.
