Thanks to Brown’s donation, it is now possible to download a free 44-page guide to the collection and watch the video that explains how the books are transported, digitized and uploaded.
Furthermore, a documentary has been made available that talks about the library which was founded by entrepreneur Joost R. Ritman in 1984, and which houses more than 20 thousand books on mysticism, spirituality, religion, alchemy, and Gnosticism, among others.
