The Netherlands Veterans Institute (VI) hosts about 250 interviews (audio) in which Dutch former military personel speak about their experiences during World War II (interviews about the years 1935-1945) and decolonisation in the Dutch East Indies (1945-1950) and Dutch New Guinea (1960-1962). In the project Living Oral History Workbench these interviews have been indexed by automatic speech recognition techniques. The list of interviews and their metadata are available at the CLARIN Center; researchers may apply to VI for access to the data.
The Typological Database System (TDS) is a web-based service that provides integrated access to a collection of independently created typological databases. It was developed with support from NWO grant 380-30-004 / INV-03-12 and from participating universities, and provides continued availability and extended documentation for its component databases, through a uniform structure and search interface. Web technologies evolve rapidly, and the system had begun to show its age even before the end of the project in 2009, motivating migration of the data collection to an archival platform. Through its Project Call 1, CLARIN-NL granted funding for migrating the resource to a durable, archival environment and converting it to a true web service architecture.
