08 Edda Holm De rol van het Genootschap Belle van Zuylen

The Dutch Belle van Zuylen Association was founded in 1974. At the time the editors of the Oeuvres complètes were preparing the 10-volume edition of her letters (vols. 1-6), her creative works (vols. 7-9, quite some of these had been circulating in manuscript form, and were published for the first time in the OC), and her musical compositions (vol. 10). The Association, created by some of the editors, can be seen as initially kind of a testing platform: by annual meetings and an annual Lettre de Zuylen people were prepared for the publication, one by one, of the volumes – which would take place between 1979 and 1984. Once the volumes published, meetings, lectures and publications continued to be attended and read. Thanks also to biographies based on her letters Belle van Zuylen became a figure, in particular in Utrecht, her home town. Around 2010 Suzan van Dijk and Madeleine van Strien-Chardonneau, members of the committee, took the initiative – in collaboration with the Huygens Institute – to start preparing a digital edition of the 2552 letters of the OC, which would also include the letters (to be) found later on. This was only possible thanks to the collaboration of a group of members of the Association as a voluntary crowd in this “crowd sourcing project”.
