Peace collection online

The Peace Palace Library has been long in the possession of a unique and important collection on peace movements from the period 1899-1940. This 'Peace Collection', with about 1500 items, consists of all kinds of materials like brochures, pamphlets, letters and photographs from pacifist organizations and people striving for world peace.

The library has started to put a selection of 100 items from this collection online by uploading the digitized images, made with help of the Metamorfoze project of the National Library of the Netherlands, to Flickr.
