= Interesting and rare collection about the extraction of peat, one of the most important economic resources of the 17th and 18th century. Johan Vegelin van Claerbergen was a member of an highly respected noble Frisian family, the deputee of Friesland in the Staten-Generaal and a well known cartographer of Friesland. His Vertoog over de veengraveryen is an extensive analysis of the impact of large-scale "laagveenontginning" in Friesland and a plea for far-reaching measures to curb the damage caused by the extraction. The measures proposed by Vegelin van Claerbergen lead to heated discussions between by supporters and opponents and an inquiry by the Staten van Friesland. However, because of economic and political reasons, the measures were never implemented.
