The archives at ANRI relate to other historical sources around the world. The archives of the 17th and 18th century are in the Dutch language, and it is crucial for historical research to be able to read these texts. Transcription and translation into other languages will become more and more important for a growing audience of people interested in the history of the Nusantara. Also knowledge of the historical context in which these archives were formed is important. 

We are collecting relevant links to other websites. These provide more background information about the Dutch East India Company VOC, about her administration and archives. Also links to websites with course material in the Dutch language will help to practice reading the handwritings and transcribing them.
