BROM, GIESBERT. - Dutch priest and historian, b. at Utrecht on 3 February 1864, d. at Rome on 6 February 1915. He studied at Rome and frequented the Vatican Archives, and this personal experience revealed to him the importance of pontifical documents, for the history of the Church in the Netherlands in particular, as well as for that of his country in general. He was the first director of the Dutch Historical Institute of Rome, founded in 1904.
Among his works are numbered a bullarium of the diocese of Utrecht (Bullarium trajectense. Romanorum pontificum diplomata quotquot olim usque ad Urbanum papam VI (an. 1378) in veterem episcopatum trajectensem destinata reperiuntur... (The Hague 1891-96); a register of documents concerning the same diocese (Regesten van oorkonden betreffende het sticht Utrecht [694-1301], Utrecht 1908); catalogues of sources of Dutch history preserved in Italian archives (Archivalia in Italië belangrijk voor de geschiedenis van Nederland, 4 vols., The Hague 1908-14; Romeinsche bronnen voor den kerkelijk-staathundigen toestand der Nederlanden in de 16de eeuw, ibid. 1922, published posthumously in collaboration with Msgr. Hensen).
