Dutch Institute for War Documentation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nederlands Instituut voor Oorlogsdocumentatie (NIOD, Dutch Institute for War Documentation) is an organisation in the Netherlands which maintains archives and carries out historical studies into the Second World War. It has been part of the Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen since January 1, 1999.
The institute published Het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden in de Tweede Wereldoorlog (The Kingdom of the Netherlands During World War II) in fourteen volumes and 18,000 pages. The magnum opus of Loe de Jong is the standard reference on the history of the Netherlands during World War II. The NIOD had recently made an electronic edition of the entire work, available for downloading from 11 December 2011, licensed under creative commons CC BY 3.0.[1]
It also performed a study into the Srebrenica massacre of 1995, which led to the resignation of the second cabinet of Wim Kok.
