One of the largest and most heavily used libraries of manuscripts, rare books, and unique materials in the United States, including an extraordinary collection of Dutch clandestine literature; books that were published illegally during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. It also has the “Engel Sluiter Historical Documents Collection”, over 160,000 transcribed pages of manuscripts from American, Latin-American and European archives dealing with the former Dutch West-India Company.
The UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAM/PFA) frequently showcases the work of Dutch, Belgian and Luxembourgian artists and filmmakers in its exhibition programs, from the historical to the contemporary.
