Data van Dagboeken

Since 2014, the Nederlands Dagboekarchief (Dutch Diary Archive) is a part of the Meertens Institute. In the dans-financed project ‘Data from Diaries’ (2016), the paper metadata from the collection of ego documents have been made digitally accessible for researchers in a sustainable way. To this end, the Meertens Institute created a relational database in which the metadata can be stored. The database has been deposited at dans. Additionally, cmdi-metadata have been created, which enable technical and content-level interchange between different European diary archives.
