.. were described in formal
library catalogues…

15. .. were full-text digitized
in Delpher …
The Dutch national aggregator for historic
newspapers, books and magzines

16. .. and were
contextualized & interlinked
1 by 1 in a book
Links to other
underground
newspapers

17. So:
a lot of – mainly unconnected -
information is available about these
WW2 underground newspapers

18. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categorie:Illegale_pers_in_de_Tweede_Wereldoorlog
However, so far only 14 of these 1200
newspapers are described on WP:NL

19. The Wikiproject Verzetskranten
will change this!
Systematically and uniformly describe & interlink all
1200 Dutch underground newspapers from WW2 on
Wikipedia & Wikidata
And thus make it available for
open reuse for other purposes –
e.g. data visualisations
