Welcome
Welcome to the
1795-1971 Dutch Censuses website. This website enables you to view or
download most of the Dutch census tables, published in the period 1795-1971. Besides, most of the instructions and attachments (see documentation) are online available. The original records were scanned and digitized and are now available
as images as well as MS Excel tables. In addition to the Excel record tables, this site includes many of the original census documents in
Adobe PDF format.
Since 1997, the digitization of the data was accomplished during the course of three projects: Dutch Census
Digitization 1795-1971, Dutch Census Data and Life Courses in Context. As a result of these three projects over 40,000 record pages were made
digitally available to the public.Please note that all files available on this site are files under construction. Which
means that the control process of the files is not yet completed. We welcome your comments and your suggestions (email: volkstellingen at
dans.knaw.nl).

Archive copy of website
Because of the fact that the original CMS of www.volkstellingen.nl could no longer be supported, DANS has
had to look for alternative ways of providing access to the census data. By providing this "archive copy' of the original, we hope
to provide you with a reasonable alternative to the original website. All of the spreadsheets and scans are available for download, either
through this site or through easy.dans.knaw.nl (see below). Although the full-text search option is no
longer available, you can still use of the 'Search in census tables' functionality.
