The NICC Foundation: For a future that values the past
The Netherlands International Cooperation Collection Foundation (NICC) manages a rich and evolving archive focused on Dutch international cooperation and sustainable development, spanning from the 1950s to the present.
Dedicated to preserving and promoting this unique heritage, the Foundation ensures public access through its website, exhibitions, events and collaborative initiatives. It serves as a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange and intergenerational dialogue.
Researchers, students and volunteers actively engage with the collection – using tools such as timelines and oral histories – to deepen understanding and broaden its scope.
The collection covers a wide range of development and sustainability themes, including agriculture, gender, water, economic development and global citizenship.
