About us
Maritiem Digitaal brings together information about the maritime collections of 20 participating museums and other institutions in the Netherlands, Belgium and the United Kingdom, and makes it possible to search them all at once in one place.
Maritiem Digitaal was founded on . Since 2025 the website has been managed by the Netwerk Maritieme Bronnen. This network consists of Het Scheepvaartmuseum, the Zuiderzeemuseum, the Maritiem Museum and the Huygens Instituut. Het Scheepvaartmuseum acts as coordinating partner and point of contact.
Maritiem Digitaal is currently being renewed. The renewed Maritiem Digitaal is more than just a new visual identity or an upgrade of the underlying software. It offers visitors new and more extensive search options, for example searching based on an image. At the same time, we have tried to preserve much of the familiar ease of use. In addition, we will gradually add new functionality based on Linked Open Data.
