Better access to web articles
21 February 2024
No matter how extensive the information on our website is, search ability is not always optimal. This has changed in recent weeks. Under the 'Further reading' tab you will find more than 180 well-illustrated articles about many aspects of our collection. These are now accessible with a 'theme' search field. When you click, a drop-down list will appear with the included themes that can be selected. This will provide welcome assistance to users with a focused interest in, for example, Gouda, ethnography or countless other topics.
