Digitizing CABR's 3.8 km Archive: New Era of Historical Access

The CABR, the largest Dutch archive of WWII, holds 3.8 km of documents with 30 million pages on individuals accused of collaboration with Nazi occupiers. Norday helped digitize this archive, making it accessible without the historical taboos. Using advanced technology, meticulous design, and historical context, the platform enables nuanced conversations between victims and perpetrators. Over 425,000 people are now online, offering a comprehensive, inclusive view of the war's impact. The project ensures future generations can explore, understand, and learn from this complex history through a structured, educational digital framework.
