1. Copies of Bohr's correspondence and manuscripts held elsewhere. This
part comprises material obtained in the process of editing Niels Bohr
Collected Works as well as spontaneous donations from correspondents,
researchers and archives.
2. Copies of material on Bohr, for instance, letters by visiting
scientists describing their experience with Bohr and at his institute;
material from other archives relating to Niels Bohr
