dutch biographical portal

The Volkskrant came out with an article today about a new website: the Dutch Biographical Portal. It's a collection from several formerly "pillarized" archives of 40.000 biographies of people living on within the current borders of the Netherlands between 634 and 2005. Every single one of them meant "something" to the country, for example: journalists, actors, politicians, etc. It's a new way of easy public access to this selection of biographical information and a new node in the dutch archival network.
