Since it would be a bit much to travel 4,000 miles to do so, I gave the presentation using Skype. I've now uploaded my slides so all of you who weren't there can see what the presentation was about.

The presentation was part of the conference 'The importance of history for Dutch-Americans', organized by AADAS (the Association for the Advancement of Dutch-American Studies). Because I was not able to attend the conference in person, I pre-recorded it. I've now made the recording available online.

I decided to put the paper online so more people will be able to read it.

This certificate of the National Militia often contains a physical description. In some cases, the physical description is left blank, for example if the man did not have to serve because he had brothers in the army already. This article will give an overview of the most frequent Dutch terms and their translations.

In this store, visitors can buy books, DVDs and prints about Dutch genealogy, history and culture. I've selected publications that I think would benefit somebody researching his Dutch roots. The store is powered by Amazon. This website receives a commission for all sales, enabling this website to remain free.

It was during my second trimester in University. All the computer science students were given internet access. We had discovered that we could place web pages on our personal internet accounts which would show up on the World Wide Web. I don't know the exact date but it must have been towards the end of 1993 or early in 1994. So I'm celebrating 15 years of Yvette's Dutch Genealogy Homepage today!

The aim of the guide is to share best practices in creating online access to collections of images. The project was an initiative of the Taskforce Digital Accessibility of Archives (Taskforce Archieven (http://www.taskforce-archieven.nl/)) in the Netherlands. We formed a project group, consisting of image bank specialist from several archives in the Netherlands. I was involved as project manager and author of the guide. The Dutch National Archives are involved in a project to share knowledge with their Croatian counterparts. As part of this program, the guide was translated into English and then into Croatian. I thought visitors of this website might also be interested in this guide, so I put the English version here as well. The guide is available under a Creative Commons license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/nl/deed.en), so feel free to share the document with others.

Like the Library of Congres, the Nationaal Archief is now using Flickr as a means to create wider access to the photo collection and ask the visitors for help in describing the collection. The first collections include a set of pictures of emigrants (http://www.flickr.com/photos/nationaalarchief/sets/72157608114433731/). Mon, 27 Oct 2008 17:25:25 +0100
