Introduction

This 26th issue of On the Waterfront reflects the Friends’ Day held on January 31, 2013. Apart from our usual update on recent accessions, we publish a brief summary of Turaj Atabaki’s talk on the Institute’s activities in Iran, Turkey, and Central Asia.

We also pay attention to the exhibition Together and Apart, which was featured at the Drents Museum in Assen from November 17, 2012 to June 9, 2013. It was part of Work, Income and the State in Russia and the Soviet Union, 1900-2000, a project funded by the Friends and supervised by the exhibition’s curator, Gijs Kessler.
