Some modern browsers, like Google Chrome, will automatically offer to translate a website for you if it’s not in your language(s). You can use this to browse Dutch websites. Beware however, that sometimes names are accidentally translated as well. Mr. Koning could be represented as Mr. King, and a place name like Houten as Wooden.

Hallo Marc,
Op mijn website maak ik veel gebruik van foto’s uit de collectie van het Nationaal Archief die zij zonder copyrights op Flickr.com beschikbaar stellen. Deze foto door Wiel van der Randen hoort tot die collectie. Ik heb dus verder geen onderzoek naar hem gedaan.
