Browse Realia

The research database with 46,467 entries include all three published nineteenth-century volumes of Realia. The realia are ordered by date, description and subject in different columns. When a researcher wishes  to become familiar with the more than 2,050 eighteenth-century realia subjects, she can browse through the subjects. If she wants to read all realia from a particular year, she can order the realia chronologically by clicking on ‘Date’.

The screen always starts with ‘Aanbestedingen’ on top in the column of ‘Subject’. The columns can be reordered when the researcher clicks on ‘Date’, ‘Description’ or ‘Subject’. Because of the sheer number of entries it is advisable to make some selections by subject or year first.

The scanning of more than 211,000 folios of resolution books is finished, and the realia research database is linked to the scan store. After clicking a realia, the system will retrieve all the scans by date. This means that the researcher will see all the scans of the resolution texts from a particular meeting of the Supreme Government. Within this set of scans the researcher will have to search for the text passage that matches with the content of the selected realium.
