Archives

• Historisch Centrum Limburg just signed a contract to build their own digital repository. This is necessary since the National Archives will stop providing a national shared service for other archives. [Source: RHCL]
• The military personnel files of soldiers in the army, navy, or airforce born between 1900 and 1920 have been transferred to the National Archives in The Hague. They have been indexed in the finding aids (see the links at the bottom of the article). The records themselves can be consulted in the reading room or scans can be ordered online for a fee.
