National depot for theses on arts- and cultural policies


Independent and unique research results can often be found in the final papers students write to round off their study. Unfortunately this work remained mostly unnoticed. To change this the Boekman Foundation started a national depot for theses on art-research in 1989. As a result the library now has a valuable collection of theses on the subject, freely accessible through our (web) catalogue.

Meanwhile the structure of academic higher education and higher professional education in the Netherlands has changed considerably. The library felt it necessary to adjust her collection policies towards the intake of all final papers. For theses and master's theses nothing changes. They will be gladly received as of old. Bachelor's theses however will only be accepted on recommendation of the thesis supervisor or tutor.

Providing the paper meets the conditions mentioned above, the author may choose a title from a selection of our publications. This selection is the same as on offer to new subscribers to our quarterly Boekman. You can send or deliver the thesis to the library of the Boekman Foundation. Opening hours are weekdays from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm.
