History

The company was founded in 1853 by Martinus Nijhoff, grandfather of the Dutch poet of the same name and a seller of rare books.[2] In the 1970s and 80s it became well known as an independent international law publisher. It was acquired by Wolters Kluwer in the 1970s[3] and subsequently by Brill Publishers.[1]

gollark: Alternatively just make it federated such that instances are small enough to practically operate for free.
gollark: Go for some kind of exclusivity?
