Abstract

On 16 March 2021, my long career in the library field ended. From 1978 I was an employee of the KB, national library of the Netherlands, the last sixteen years as a curator of Early Printed Editions at the Department of Collections. As a curator one has many tasks, one of which is the acquisition of new objects to expand the collections for which you are responsible, which in my case was the collection of books printed before 1800.
