Archives
- The Central Archives of Special Jurisdiction, the records of all the people who were investigated, prosecuted, and/or convicted because of collaboration during World War II, is not going to become public on 1 January 2025 as originally planned. After a warning by the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, the government privacy watchdog, the Minister of Education, Science, and Culture (responsible for archives) decided to extend the access restrictions. The records do not only contain information about suspects, but may also contain information about their family, possibly including living children. At 3.5 km (over 2 miles), this is the most extensive record series in the Netherlands, and the most important resource for research into World War II. A temporary facility will be created to allow descendants of victims to search the records at the National Archives. [Source: Oorlog voor de Rechter]

Projects
- A new project has launched the research causes of death. Volunteers are invited to help index registers from the late 1800s and early 1900s that show the cause of death. These sources will be used by researchers from several universities to study the diseases and epidemics that affected our ancestors’ lives. The project website is available at Doodsoorzaken. Volunteers can report to Het Volk.
