 No, in about 10 years of hard work a group of
volunteers completed about 1% of the index…
 …and the project was halted
The following 12 slides
contain screenshots that
even archivists may find
too old, outdated & boring
(Also all of them are in Dutch)

 Difficult collaborating with
users who are difficult to meet
and difficult to know
 (Difficult giving them flowers!)
Visits to study hall and website BHIC in 2001 and 2010
So…So…
 How to meet these users?

So let’s try this at home…
(Well, at the archives that is,
with our alderman archives project)
Second chance?Second chance?
 What do users need, what do they tell us?
 What do data tell us users really use?
 Where can we meet these users?
 Can we collaborate with them?
Users search
for names of
people and
places
Users make deeds
accessible by making
short summaries of
them, including names
of people and places
Users willing to
scan and index
archives meet
each other on
our forum,
where we can
also meet them
We may import these indexes in our system, linked to our
inventories and scans, if scans are already available
We even link to photographed resources on other
websites, not worrying too much about quality and such
ResultsResults
 Users helped us to make 225.000 deeds
accessible through our website within 2 years
 User community provides us with a steady stream
of fresh records
 This database quickly became our most popular
one for non specific genealogical research
What’s next?What’s next?
 Acquire photos of the archives from users and
import them into the database
 Let software extract names of people and places
from the summary text into separate fields
 Make archives accessible on a basic level, and let
indexes be enriched through crowdsourcing
Call for actionCall for action
 Meet your digital users & know them better
 Use various channels & sources of information
 Improve your services in collaboration with users
 (And less is often more!)
Thank you!Thank you!
 Any questions?
 Thank you for staying with me!
 Please meet me after my talk, and online
