This collection is a compendium of newspapers published primarily in various cities and towns in the Netherlands from 1900 until 1948. Additionally some titles from Dutch territories and Dutch communities in the United States are included for this same time-period. Newspapers presented here are from the Delpher website - a digital library initiative of the <italic>Koninklijke Bibliotheek</italic> (The Royal Library of the Netherlands).<br><br>Newspapers are an important resource for genealogy and family history research as they contain obituaries and other vital record substitutes such as birth, marriage, and death notices. Family members may also be mentioned in articles reporting on local news, events, and social activities. Many articles found here provide details on historical events that are unlikely to exist in any other record. <br><br>Coverage and completeness in this collection varies by title.
