Description: Reproduces minutes of the committee's meetings from 1888 to 1940; international correspondence with scientists, scientific organizations and laboratories, museums, libraries and universities, and with government officials, businesses, etc. indexed by the National Archives; plans and proposals for expeditions and other forms of research; published and unpublished reports and results of the expeditions undertaken; diaries and field notes; printed and hand-drawn maps and drawings; photos; requests for research and publication subsidies; fundraising appeals; and financial and administrative papers.  Also includes two related archives: The Natuurwetenschappelijke Raad van Nederlandsch-Indië (1925-1941) and the Coordinatie Commissie voor Natuurwetenschappelijke Zaken (1945-1948).  The Natuurwetenschappelijke Raad van Nederlandsch-Indië (Natural Science Council of the Netherlands East Indies) (1925-1941) was an organ set up in Batavia to provide advice to the Netherlands Indies government on all science-related issues and to stimulate and coordinate research. Its archive has international correspondence, all indexed, and other documents, including those relating to an expedition to New Guinea in 1938.  Founded after the Second World War, the Coordinatie Commissie voor Natuurwetenschappelijke Zaken (1945-1948) (Coordinating Commission for Natural Science Affairs) had the task of getting scientific organizations running again after the Japanese occupation and also corresponded internationally (indexed), including with the Netherlands New Guinea Exploration Committee in 1946-1948.
