My website is designed to show you Leiden as you should see it. My hobby is documentary photography and I am also the steady photographor for STIEL.

My photo collection contains over 55.000 negatives, photo’s and a large collection of movies about Leiden. Both collections are stored in the Regional Archive of Leiden.

Let me know what you think about my website and visit my guestbook!

It’s possible when you click on a photo that the photo does not appear or you don’t see the original photo. If this is the case, please send me an email by using the contact form and let me know the name and category of the photo.

New photo’s will be placed on a regular basis. There are 14 category’s and if you click on a category, you can also choose to see a slide show.

All photo’s are property off Niek Bavelaar. If you wish to use one of the photo’s, you need to ask a written permission. If you like to order photo’s you can use the contact form on this website.
