Vandaag in @trouw hoe de tot slaaf gemaakte Maria Cabbecabbe Poespas een gezicht kreeg dankzij ons project @_GLOBALISE dat 5 miljoen VOC-scans van het @NA_Archief heeft omgezet naar digitale tekst. trouw.nl/cs-bd46b53d

Het VOC-archief is makkelijker doorzoekbaar: zo kreeg de tot slaaf gemaakte Maria Cabbecabbe...

Een deel van het VOC-archief is voortaan makkelijker te doorzoeken. De slachtoffers van Nederlandse misdaden krijgen daardoor sneller een gezicht.

For example, our transcriptions of 5 million (!) handwritten pages from the VOC archives will make it easier to find references to enslaved people. This information can then be used by the Exploring Slave Trade in Asia project @ESTA_IISG to reconstruct the Asian slave trade (5/6)
