- Abstract
Between 1946 and 1963, the Museum Boerhaave in Leiden, the National Museum of the History of Science and Medicine in the Netherlands, acquired some 200 scientific instruments, including some 110 microscopes, from four Dutch private collectors. This paper examines the lives and activities of these collectors: J. M. Burgers (1862-1946), W. H van Seters (1891-1976), W. Kaas (1877-1954) and his son A. J. W. Kaas (1908-76). They are discussed in relation to the collecting policy of the museum itself, in which two lines of approach are distinguished.
