PKN

PKN (Protestantse Kerk Nederland)

These are tapes and cassettes in the audio collection of the Protestant Church of the Netherlands, a fusion of the Dutch Reformed Church, the Reformed Churches of the Netherlands and the Evangelical-Lutheran Church since 2004. The original audio carriers are in the Utrecht Archive but were digitized before they were moved from their archive in the service centre of the PKN to the Utrecht Archive. These West Papua related tapes were made as documentaries, archive sound files, or as the sound files for the slide shows on the mission and work for schools and societies made by the predecessors of the PKN. Often there is more than one tape of the same title. The one with the best sound quality has been chosen.

Oegstgeest Freerk Kamma

These are the tapes which were formerly kept in the archive of the Mission School in Oegstgeest. In 1999 the school and institute was closed and moved to Utrecht. The archive had already been moved earlier, first temporarily to Leusden and then further to Utrecht, where they became part of the PKN archive. Because of a flooding in the archive of the PKN or because of the move, the original tapes were lost. The same also happened  with the DAT-tapes copies that were made of it, but fortunately the cassette copies survived. They were digitized by PACE before the cassettes were moved together with the rest of the audio archive to the PKN collections in the Utrecht Archives.
