"Sources about slavery
Important archives on slavery have been digitised over the past years by the National Archives of the Netherlands, in cooperation with Metamorfoze, the Netherlands' national programme for the preservation of paper heritage. On this page, visitors can access the 1.9 million scans that have become available so far from institutions in the Netherlands, England, Guyana and Suriname. The scans from the collection of the National Archives of the Netherlands can be accessed and searched on this page. Links to scans from the collections of other (archival) institutions are also included.
As most of the digitised archives are written in Dutch, most inventories and scanned material are also only available in Dutch. There are some exceptions, however, visitors of this page should be aware that most linked content is not available in English or other languages. While it may be possible to translate some of this content using Google Translate (see box), most scans will still only be available in Dutch. This also means that in most cases, using non-Dutch search terms to search the archives will not yield the desired results."
