Abstract
This chapter examines what extent the collection as a whole has so far been used for scholarly purposes and what potential the collection still has for future research. It outlines the growth, contents and provenance of the collections in three periods: (1) c. 1600 to 1800; (2) the 19th century; and (3) after 1900. The materials obtained by Dutch institutions before the 19th century had exclusively been collected by Western, mostly Dutch, scholars, in particular professors of Leiden University, either directly for the Leiden University Library - only by Jacob Golius - or for their own libraries. The early 17th century also saw, apart from the Leiden University, the founding of Academies/Universities in other towns: Amsterdam, Groningen and Utrecht.Keywords:Amsterdam; Groningen; Leiden university library; Utrecht
