A collection of documents and images on World War II maintained by the Dutch. Not all of them, just some.

An excellent resource for teaching the history of the Indian Ocean Basin. It has some great flash-based maps where you can click on funky-looking icons and get some detailed historical information. Very Gen-Y friendly and there seemed to be some quality history in there. The whole site too is based on a historiographic approach of understanding (and teaching) history as organised around oceans rather than continents or civilisations or periods. An interesting approach I think, especially for showing historical connections between otherwise distinct peoples.

The datasets that are offered cover a range of topics relating to Dutch history and are particularly strong in aspects of socio-economic and colonial history. The datasets can be browsed or searched by keyword. Users need to register in order to be able to download datasets.

Seems to have English as well as Dutch pages in the collections. Enormous range of topics and types of sources.
