The Library has some manuscripts and other unique documents regarding Dutch garden and landscape architecture. We plan to make them online available for research and study.
Some of our old books and manuscripts are made electronically available on the website www.biolib.de by the Max-Planck-Institut für Züchtungsforschung , Cologne, Germany.
You can browse these books on this website but of course it is also possible to visit the Special Collections to study the
originals.
