Samenvatting
As a result of the Netherlands’ colonial past spanning several centuries, parts of the history of countries, communities and individuals across the world are being held in archives currently located in the Netherlands. Although these archives may be here, they may not be in the right place. In many cases, the colonial context remains unrecognised and unexplained. Some archives are available online while others are not. In compiling the report, the Council has liaised closely with administrators and experts from Indonesia, Suriname and the Caribbean islands; areas that were under Dutch control until decolonisation and/or are still part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The input from the discussion partners consulted by the Council proved to be very much in line with the Council's own thinking. For the purpose of dealing with colonial archives and documentary collections, the Council applies the following frames of reference: the recognition of the historic injustice inflicted on the former colonies by the Dutch state; the willingness to put right this injustice where possible; the need to prevent new injustice and/or any lasting impact caused by historic injustice. |
