Alle Amsterdamse Akten

Learn all about our rich notarial archive. It consists of 30,000 books, spanning a total of 3.5 kilometers of shelves, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Every Amsterdammer from between 1578 and 1915 should be traceable within it. However, this is only possible once all those books have been digitized and indexed. In this vlog, Jochem Boodt (@vlochemverkent) explains how this monumental task is progressing and what unique knowledge can be extracted from it.
