Wow
We are happy that this has come to fruition. This is part of the Netherlands
and the World
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Nederland/The_Netherlands_and_the_world>
project
by WMNL and a digital
repatriation project initiated as part of the GLAM Ghana project.
Hopefully we can have access to our historical stuff and even there are
more on its way.

So I went to the Ghana Wikiproject today and
noticed a message.1
tl;dr: The Wikimedia Netherlands has donated some 2,000 historic images,
going back as far as almost a century related to Africa, South America and
Southeast Asia.2
Specifically to Ghana, I doubt those images (very old) could be found
anywhere, such as this 1953 image of Fort Amsterdam.

I am impressed and really thankful for such a generous donation to
Wikimedia Commons relating to Ghana's history.
Now I guess it's about time we put those images to use!
I hope more are shared as and when they become available. Kudos, WMNL.
Checkout the category to find images about your country too. I've seen
Guinea Bissau in there somewhere.
