Digital Océ Museum

Part of the extensive collection of the Océ Museum has been made accessible online via https://digital.ocemuseum.nl
The digital museum is far from complete, but gradually more and more items (photos, documents, videos) will be added.
Feel free to take a look at our digital collection.

For example, take a look at one of the top pieces from the collection, Mr. Louis van der Grinten’s lab journal from 1927:

Lab journal O.C. – “An image of a page from a lab journal from 1927. In that year, Van der Grinten introduced a new, user-friendly diazo paper without a so-called azo component. That is why they called the new whiteprinting paper: “O.C. paper”, an abbreviation of “Ohne Componente”, that is: without component. It soon became the new brand: “Océ”, which was legally registered in 1928 and which decades later – in 1970 – would also become the name of the company. This makes it a key piece in the development of the company.”
