The Archive for Dutch Behavioral History (ADNG) is a foundation that aims to preserve, and make accessible the heritage of Dutch psychology, pedagogy, and educational sciences. For their Oral History Project, they started a video interview project. Outstanding scientists who made history in their field should be heard by future generations. Around twenty emeriti professors were interviewed about their career, vision, and reflection on (current) psychology by dr. Vittorio Busato, and historian dr. Jacques Dane. The interview is done in Dutch.
