new acquisitions of foreign scientific literature in the Scientific Library
of the State Hermitage Museum
The funds of the Scientific Library of the State Hermitage acquired nearly
80 editions on fine arts. Most of the books are printed by the publishing
companies "Davaco" and "Waanders". They were selected by the research
workers of the State Hermitage Museum in the catalogue of the Netherlandish
book-selling company "Martinus Nijhoff Publishers". Present at the ceremony
were Consul General of the Netherlands Mr.Hendric Cornelis Johannes Everaars
and General Manager of the company "Martinus Nijhoff" Mr.Bus Guijt.
At the opening ceremony of the exhibition of new acquisitions of the
Scientific Library a book of the famous Netherlandish writer, a nephew
of the founder of the company Martinus Nijhoff (1894 - 1953), "Pen on
Paper. Ferry-boat. Avater", printed in Saint Petersburg in 2000, was presented
to the public. The selling and subscription agency "Martinus Nijhoff"
separated from the publishing-house of the same name in 1978 and became
an independent company but preserved the name of the founder of the firm.
All the largest libraries of the world are the firm's clients. The book-selling
company "Martinus Nijhoff" replenishes National libraries, academic and
scientific organizations with books, magazines and electronic editions
published all over the world.
