The following correspondence and manuscripts were obtained by L. Rosenfeld from H. A. Kramers' daughter, Miss Martien Kramers, Heerenstraat 16A, The Hague, The Netherlands. Brought to the Bohr Sekretariat in 1962, the correspondence was arranged by Fru E. Tanggaard under Rosenfeld's supervision and, subsequently, catalogued and microfilmed by Sources for History of Quantum Physics. This material remains at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, Copenhagen, Denmark, pending final arrangements. Additional Kramers material is described below (Microfilms 25-28).

Except for the drafts of Werner Kuhn's paper, these Kramers materials were all obtained by J. L. Heilbron in the Netherlands in April, 1963. The Kramers notebooks were selected by Heilbron from among a large collection belonging to Miss Martien Kramers, Heerenstraat 16A, The Hague, and were taken to Copenhagen for microfilmin
A list of the additional notebooks left with Miss Kramers is photographed before the borrowed notebooks on Microfilms 25 and 26. These notebooks, together with a few interleaved papers photographed on Microfilms 27 and 28, were returned to her at The Hague. Most of the other papers on Microfilms 27 and 28 were received from Professor N. G. van Kampen and were returned to him at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands. The remainder were supplied by Dr. J. B ' Ubbink, Burgravenlaan 10, Leiden, The Netherlands. Further Kramers papers dating from the late 1930's (the de Sitter problem and the shape of the earth), the 1940s (Brownian movement, quantum electrodynamics), and the early 1950s (rotons, superconductivity, lecture notes in Dutch on classical topics) remain with van Kampen and were not microfilmed. The drafts of Werner Kuhn's "Intensität von Thallium-Absorptionslinien," [Naturwiss. (1925) ], with Kramers' comments (Microfilm 27, Section 17) were received from W. Kuhn in Basel in March, 1963, and were returned to him at the Physikalisch-Chemisches Institut der Universitdt Basel, Klingelbergstrasse 80, Basel, Switzerland.
