General, short description of the collection

A short description:: This collection of Jakob Nielsen papers consists mainly of reprints, which Nielsen has received from other scientists and sorted by authors. In addition to the reprints there is other material from some of the persons, i.e. letters, manuscripts, applications for positions etc. All the material is from the period around 1890-1959 and the reprints are in many different languages. However, the additional material is mainly in Danish or German.
Size:: The collection is contained in 79 archival boxes of which the first 25 are standard boxes while the rest are Nielsen's original boxes.

A short biography of Nielsen

Jakob Nielsen (1890-1959) was born on the peninsula Als (then ruled by the Germans) and he studied in Kiel, where he has good contact with Max Dehn. He submitted his doctoral dissertation in Kiel in 1913. During World War I he was drafted by the Germans. Following studies in Göttingen and Hamburg in 1919 he got a professorship in Breslau in 1920. After the reunion of Southern Jutland with Denmark in 1920 he returned to Denmark, where he became lektor at the Royal Veterinary School in 1921. In 1925 he succeeded C. S. Juel as professor of rational mechanics at the Polytechnics. Nielsen was one of the most significant mathematicians in Denmark then. He worked in topology and group theory. He kept the position at the Polytechnics until 1951, where he succeeded the deceased Harald Bohr as professor at the University. However, Nielsen already retired in 1956. He was involved in international work in the United Nations organization UNESCO after World War II.

A survey of the content

Nielsen himself had sorted his papers in three series and in each series he had more or less sorted the material alphabetical according to authors. Nielsen's original division is almost kept with only minor modifications. Remark that the alphabetical ordering is not complete everywhere. So if you are looking for material from a person the best strategy is to make a search on the person's name. Below is an alphabetical list of persons from whom there is other material than reprints.

The first series (box 1-25) contains material from persons from whom Nielsen only got a small amount of reprints or other material.
The second series (box 26-44) contains material from persons from whom Nielsen only got one or perhaps a few reprints.
The third series (box 45-79) contains material from persons from whom Nielsen got a large number of reprints or other material.

Remark that:

During the registration of the first series on each folder the names of the persons from whom there is material in the folder have been written on the folder. Nielsen himself had written these names on labels on the back, but they have often disappeared. Furthermore, in brackets are added how many reprints there is from each person (some of them perhaps written jointly with others).
Some of the reprints have more than one author, but the additional authors are not included in this inventory.
In a few cases a reprint is not included under the author, but under the person which is its subject (it is the case for some of the obituaries).
Most of the reprints are mathematical, but there is also reprints in physics, astronomy, engineering science (especially telephone engineering), medicine etc.
In many cases it is written if the reprint is a doctoral dissertation, but it is not always the case.
