Looking into Dutch archives at home

Legg inn av Herman de Wit » 26 aug 2006 10:14:26

Hi,


When you are looking for your ancestors in the Netherlands you are
lucky, because a lot of stuff is available online, from both archives
and private persons. Your entry for all of this is Digital Resources
Netherlands and Belgium at http://geneaknowhow.net/digi/resources.html

Since a while pictures of archival material are also coming online. You
can read original writings on your screen as if you were in the archives
yourself.
A private initiative with this kind of material, it will reach 40.000
(!) pages in a couple of weeks, is "From Paper To Pixels", or in Dutch
"Van Papier Naar Digitaal".
Take a peek at: http://www.den-braber.nl/digiproject/statuspagina.html


Best wishes,
Herman de Wit

No Anne, that's not possible at the time. Besides you have to realize
the site Digital Resources is a portal with links to external websites.
There are over 10.000 links ...
The pictures of archival material at the second site mentioned, are not
indexed, because the text is in old handwriting. It's not possible to
index that automatic.
