Adopt History - Adoption Opportunities
Maintaining, preserving, and providing access to books, archives, and collections is costly – sometimes too costly for an individual to cover. More modest contributions are also very welcome! Up to € 150, you share in the costs.
Adopt History - How does it work?
There are several ways to adopt: in your own name or on behalf of a loved one, such as a friend or a family member. Adoption on behalf of a group, organization or company is possible as well. Alternatively, if you wish, you can adopt in someone's memory.

Focussing on the Friends of the IISH:
Max Nettlau
In well-informed circles, Max Nettlau was known as the 'Herodotus of Anarchy', the first and greatest historian of the anarchist movement. The name of the International Institute of Social History (1935) very nearly was the Max Nettlau Institute.
Nehemia de Lieme
He was the son of Benjamin de Lieme, a kosher butcher, and Aaltje Goudsmit. On 30 March 1908 he married Rebecca Kahn, who bore him a daughter and a son. De Lieme learned about Jewish history, tradition and culture from his father, who was a Talmudic scholar.
The Institute and Annie Adama
On 25 November 1935 the International Institute of Social History was established.
Annie Adama van Scheltema
She was the daughter of Jentje Johan Kleefstra, an educationalist and founder of the Brinio School in Hilversum, and Piternella Nanette Dekker. On 24 October 1907 she married the poet Carel Steven Adama van Scheltema. The couple did not have children.
Nicolaas Wilhelmus Posthumus
He was the son of Nicolaas Wilhelmus Posthumus, a geography teacher and three-year HBS [secondary school] headmaster, and Huibertje IJzerman. On 20 July 1908 he married Dorothea Maria van Loon, with whom he had a daughter and a son. This marriage ended in divorce on 1 August 1928.
