The library of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago was centralized years ago. Ultimately, the library had to be duplicated and expanded by purchase, etc. in its original location at the Oriental Institute.

Internationally EXTREMLY well-know and highly esteemed, world's Egyptology would loose an important partner in research and publication if NINO was to be shut down or somehow altered from what it used to be: world class academia and thus an undisputable top institution displaying everywhere the peak of Dutch scientific endeavour!

It would be a complete disaster if the NINO would loose its prominent position as a source for knowledge of and research in Egyptology, for the individual scholar, for the Netherlands and ultimately for science in general!

I have worked at NINO, been invited for a lecture, and corresponded with colleagues there on many occasions. It is an essential organisation and a very strong and well respected institute. In my opinion NINO should remain together and not be broken up, or this will doubtless be the beginning of the end. It is not just important for Egyptology in the Netherlands but for Egyptologists worldwide.

The NINO as it is right now is indispensable for students and scholars of both Egyptology and Assyriology. If this is changed, so will our disciplines, and it will only affect this negatively.

I urge the council of the humanities faculty to revise its policy, which would destroy an internally renown institution for the study of the Ancient Near East. Leiden University has a special responsibility to preserve its time-honoured institutions, which are even more needed today.

Please save this oasis of knowledge, home of the biggest and most important cuneiform tablet collection of the Netherlands. Too many of the specialised humaniora institutions of this kind are already gone at Leiden university. The library has the now quite unique, (really!) to browse the bookshelves yourself to find the hidden gems for your academic quests. Utinam NINO tuta sub Aegide Palladis!

It would be a waste of the effort generations of eminent scholars have put into the NINO to rob the institute of its independence. Its library is the only place in the Netherlands where I can find everything I need for my research.

It would be enormously painful, almost cynical, that the best working research facilitating and encouraging institute for the study and understanding of the history, culture and heritage of Near East in the Benelux and even beyond, would be ‘decommissioned’, ‘disassemble’ at the very moment that same Near East, its history and cultures, is being attacked and destroyed. In that perspective, having an institute as the NINO is an fantastic asset which can barely be overvalued at any moment. If the Netherlands (for which several of its politicians and policymakers have stated in the recent past) want to take up their responsibilities in supporting, rebuilding and reinitiating cultural heritage projects in the many affected regions, it will be a NINO at full capacity which will be able to give that shape.

NINO has established Leiden as a world leading centre for the integrated study of Ancient Egypt and the Near East. Risking this hard won reputation for excellence, innovation and independence is both short and narrow sighted.
