My true passion. I was lucky to have been able to work in a historic environment in Amsterdam, the Economic historical Library, part of the Dutch Economic Historical Archive (= Nederlands Economisch Historisch archief). Here I learned the library skills during the years 1981 - 1989.

In 1988 the Library moved to a new housing in the International Institute of Social History (I.I.S.G.), also in Amsterdam.

In 1989 I grabbed the opportunity to help to build a new library and historic archive at the Moluccan Historical Museum (= Moluks Historisch Museum) at Utrecht. Here I was head of the library and historical archives,which I built there. Here I worked from 1989 - 1998.

Now I'm doing volunteering work and my latest project is the library for the Moluccan Institute for church and society (= Moluks Instituut voor kerk & Samenleving) at Houten in the Moluccan Church Center (= Moluks Kerkelijk Centrum). I did the consultancy for the MIKS and together with very enthousiastic volunteers we managed to put up a library with special collections for all the moluccan churches. The official opening of the library took place in October 2008 on the 31st, Luther's Day.
