Dear list-members,
I would like to draw your attention to 3 digital collections originating from Dutch institutions that have recently been made available on Wikimedia Commons:
1. The African Studies Center https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afrika-Studiecentrum,_Leiden, Leiden University, donated 756 images made by Roel Coutinho https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Guinea-Bissau_and_Senegal_1973-1974_(Coutinho_Collection), a Dutch MD working in Guinea-Bissau and Senegal between 1973 and 1974. The images show aspects of daily life such as food preparation, festivities and school and hospital buildings, among other things. The metadata (including Portuguese captions) were prepared by Michele Portatadino, the upload was done by Hans Muller using the GWToolset.
2. The Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Netherlands_Institute_of_Southeast_Asian_and_Caribbean_Studies and Leiden University Library https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leiden_University_Library donated 3114 images https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:KITLV_donation_2016 to Wikimedia Commons as a follow-up to an earlier donation containing 2400+ images https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:KITLV_donation_2015. The new donation contains photos, lithos, drawings, watercolours showing people, landscapes, plantations, plants and butterflies from countries such as Suriname, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan and Singapore. The upload was carried out by Hans Muller.
3. The National Museum of World Cultures https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17153751 (a merger of the former Tropenmuseum, the Museum Volkenkunde and the Afrika Museum) donated a collection of 720 images https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Files_from_the_Nationaal_Museum_van_Wereldculturen to Wikimedia Commons. This donation consists of photos of objects from the museum's collection, and of photos taken during Dutch scientific and military expeditions in Suriname and the Dutch East Indies.

Thanks for sharing Arne!
I love these internationally focused donations. Have you been using Patty Pan? ( I see that you note the GLAM-Wiki toolset for one of them).
Cheers,
Alex
