Papers, 1927-1986 (bulk, 1945-1977).

Correspondence, lecture notes, published articles, book manuscripts, lectures, audio recordings, photographs, research notes, secondary materials, reviews, and syllabi with materials in both Dutch and English concerning Rookmaaker's publications, research interests and academic career at Free University. The largest portion of the collection consists of 3 x 5 bibliographic note cards (in Dutch) containing research notes. For many series, arrangement is by language and by publication. Articles written for the Dutch newspapers Trouw and Opbouw are foldered chronologically. Journal articles in English are arranged alphabetically, while articles in Dutch are arranged chronologically under the journal title, with no attempt to list individual article titles. Over 50 audio cassette tapes provide voice recordings of Dr. Rookmaaker on the topics of art, culture, music, philosophy, and the Bible.
