8. Collection Aanwinsten of the National
Archives of the Netherlands in the Netherlands
n
the first place, the collection Aanwinsten
(Acquisitions) in the former First Section contains all sorts
of miscellaneous documents which somebody at some time has
thought interesting and have therefore been preserved. Besides
these, there are both semi-private papers of people referring
to the voc as well as miscellaneous
documents which formally speaking should belong in the VOC
archives or in those of an establishment, but were kept aside
by a director or an employee. Naturally these are often interesting
and important documents. Furthermore, the collection contains
a number of largish fragments of archives of VOC employees,
of the same type as the fragments of archives of functionaries
which one comes across in private archives. Meanwhile, some
documents have been taken out of the collection and inventories
have been made of them as separate archives.
