Dear Reader,

Last saturday, October 30, was National Archives Day.
Book2CD attended the Rijksarchief Noord Holland in Haarlem, the Regionaal Archief in Alkmaar and CODA in Apeldoorn.
In Apeldoorn our presentation was visited by Secretary of State: Medy van der Laan.

In Alkmaar our CD "Alkmaar en zijne geschiedenissen" was officially presented to
the Archives Director. He bestowed the first copy to the author of one of the original books, Mr. Fasel, former Local Council Archivist for Alkmaar.
The CD can be ordered on our website for $25,00 (order # 46131)

On the Archives Day we made contact with several collectors.
One of them spontaneously offered several books for digitalisation.
An offer we will gladly accept.

One of the books for offer is dated 1621. The used printing letter and writing manner are not easy on the modern reader. Text recognition does not give the desired quality.
For those with an interest in the "Engelanderholt" area in Beekbergen the contents can be very interesting tho. When we get a number of interested people we are certainly willing to produce the CDROM after all. It is title is: "Gereformiert Lantrecht van Veluvven vnd Velvvvenzoom Mit de veranderongh opt Capittel van Apellatien en de Claronghen aen Engellander-holt gevallen".

In case you are interested, please email us at: mieke@boekopcd.nl
