Bureau A tot Z / Harry J. Kraaij Text & Editing does scientific research in the field of the arts. In co-operation with several Dutch museums and publishers we produce educational brochures and books, monographs and exhibition catalogues.
We can also provide you with articles on art and culture. Publishers contact us for solid, professional text editing and co-ordination of the production process of their publications. Private collectors and fine art dealers frequently ask us to create an art-historical dossier on one of their pieces.
