The papers of Pieter Zeeman were discovered by chance, in 1989, 46 years after Zeeman's death, in his house on the Stadhouderskade in Amsterdam. An inspection of the house after the death of its inhabitant, Zeeman's son Jan, revealed a large collection of letters and other documents belonging to Pieter Zeeman. This came as a complete surprise, because Jan Zeeman had always told those who were interested in Zeeman's papers that his father's archive had been thrown away.
When it was established by A.J. Kox of the University of Amsterdam that this was indeed the personal archive of Pieter Zeeman, the Noord-Hollands Archief in Haarlem was approached as a possible repository * . It was agreed that the papers would be deposited with the Archief and they were transferred to Haarlem in December 1989.
After 46 years of neglect the papers were in a deplorable physical condition. The documents first had to be fumigated, cleaned and repacked in acid-free folders and boxes. After these tasks had been accomplished, the papers were ready to be processed. The 'Stichting Pieter Zeeman Fonds', established by Zeeman's daughter Johanna Elisabeth (Annie), was willing to finance the preparation of an inventory and this project started in July 1991.
