The exhibit was developed and written by Krista Milne (Leiden University) with funding from a Dutch Research Council (NWO) Veni Grant. The project lead would like to express her sincere gratitude to NWO for this funding.
This online exhibit is aimed at shedding light on what sorts of medieval manuscripts were lost during the war, and at explaining how these losses happened - with the hope of helping to prevent similar losses in the future.
The website for this online exhibit was created by Eva Kruijt with funding from NWO; the project lead would like to express her gratitude to Eva for her valuable contributions to academic projects such as this one.
The project lead would also like to thank those who offered their kind support and shared their expertise during her work on this project. These include Hanno Wijsman and Jérémy Delmulle (both at the IRHT), Rob Goedemans (Leiden), Ben Companjen, and Peter Verhaar (both at the Leiden CDS). The project lead would also like to thank the kind archivists, librarians, and staff whose assistance enabled the primary research that went into this investigation, including the staff and librarians of the London Metropolitan Archives, the National Archives in Kew, the British Library, the Bibliothèques-Médiathèques de Metz, the Bibliotheek van Zeeland, Leiden University Library, and the Herbert Art Museum and Gallery in Coventry.
