The Dutch National Archive is placing a portion of its photograph collection on the internet. The historic pictures, mainly of Dutch emigrants, will be accessible on the photo-sharing website Flickr. The archive hopes that making the pictures available will prompt viewers to provide it with more information about the people and objects in the pictures. Visitors to the site will be able to add information themselves. The archive will also be posting photographs of the First and Second world wars, the Royal Dutch-Indian Army (KNIL) and the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam.
