21. Photograph of C.H. van Schooneveld’s house, 2000 East Atwater Avenue, Bloomington. [Inv. No. 38]

The spacious basement of this house has been converted into a study with several desks and a library, in which the majority of the papers that now form the Leiden C.H. van Schooneveld Collection were stored in steel file cabinets. On November 5, 1998 this material was moved in about sixty large packing crates. Three moving companies were needed to move it all to the Netherlands: a Dutch company that organized the move (Gerlach, Schiphol), a subcontractor (Transport Consultants International Inc.) in Westfield, New Jersey, who took care of the actual air transport, and a local mover (Planes) from Indianapolis, Indiana, who earlier transported the material from Bloomington to New York via Indianapolis. Van Schooneveld was on the faculty of Indiana University (Bloomington) from 1966 until his retirement in 1986. This period (until around 1974) saw the bulk of his Mouton activities. In this period the Van Schooneveld family lived in Bloomington at 4221 Doyle Avenue.
