Lipsius Correspondence | 2011 | ongoing |
- Description
- Lipsius kept a busy correspondence with the leading scholars of his time, with leaders of Church and State, but also with numerous (former) students. The majority of these letters is preserved in Leiden UB, copies of Lipsius’s outgoing letters in ms. Lip. 3 and the original letters sent to him in ms. Lip. 4. Purpose of the project is to publish this prolific correspondence available on the web, so that a transcription, variant readings, and a summary of the letters is available, preceding a critical commentary. The latter is already complete for the correspondence published in the Iusti Lipsi Epistolae. In the future it should become possible to compare Lipsius’s letters with those of contemporaries, such as Carolus Clusius, Josephus Justus Scaliger, Bonaventura Vulcanius and others

RemDoc | 2013 | ongoing |
- Description
- The goal of the project is to show how (art) historians can benefit from a central resource CLARIN (eLaborate) connected with sources of museums, archives and libraries that use other metadata standards. Therefore, a demonstrator will be built that combines different types of data on the life and works of Rembrandt and its accessibility allows an integrated search / work environment.

Creating a digital repository for sources on European colonial architecture and town planning (c. 1850-1970) | 2011 | Ongoing |
- Description
- The repository facilitates the emerging transnational research on European colonial architecture and urbanism between 1850 and 1970 and thus stimulates and enriches the debate about colonial built heritage.
By bringing together and unlocking thematically related but physically often separated sources in one digital environment, the repository overcomes important geographic, economic, language and institutional barriers.

PICCL: Philosophical Integrator of Computational and Corpus Libraries | 2015 | Ongoing |
- Description
- CLARIN activities in the Netherlands in 2015 are in transition between the first national project
CLARIN-NL and its successor CLARIAH. In this paper we give an overview of important infrastructure
developments which have taken place throughout the first and which are taken to a
further level in the second. We show how relatively small accomplishments in particular projects
enable larger steps in further ones and how the synergy of these projects helps the national infrastructure
to outgrow mere demonstrators and to move towards mature production systems. The
paper centers around a new corpus building tool called PICCL. This integrated pipeline offers a
comprehensive range of conversion facilities for legacy electronic text formats, Optical Character
Recognition for text images, automatic text correction and normalization, linguistic annotation,
and preparation for corpus exploration and exploitation environments. We give a concise
overview of PICCL’s components, integrated now or to be incorporated in the foreseeable future.

Historische Steekproef Nederland | 1989 | ongoing |
- Description
- The Historical Sample of the Netherlands (HSN) strives to construct life histories as completely as possible for a representative portion of the nineteenth and twentieth century population in The Netherlands. The sample, for this purpose, has been drawn from all persons born in The Netherlands between 1812 and 1922. Ultimately, the HSN database will include information on an individual level from 77,000 persons on subjects like age at marriage, religious affiliation, the number of children born, occupation, birth place, literacy, social network and migration history.
With these characteristics, the data set will form a basic resource for research into historical questions concerning problems in the areas of demography, sociology, epidemiology, socio economics and social geography. The importance of the HSN for the researcher is fourfold:
The HSN provides a representative dataset with which research can be done into social developments in the 19th and 20th centuries.
The HSN provides a control group or groups which researchers can compare with their own research population.
The HSN is developing the expertise which individual researchers usually cannot acquire in the limited time at their disposal.
The HSN offers the possibility for researchers to use the existing HSN dataset as base for their own research projects.
