End WatWasWaar per January 1, 2016 - Cadastral maps at the RCE WatWasWaar is terminated by January 1, 2016. This means that the website www.watwaswaar.nl will no longer be available starting January 1, 2016. The on WatWasWaar available scans of the collection Cadastral maps from 1811-1832 will be made available through the State Service for Cultural Heritage (RCE). New home for the digital cadastral maps The most comprehensive collection that WatWasWaar manages consists of scans of the collection Cadastral Maps 1811-1832. The physical originals are managed by the Regional Historical Centres. The scans from this collection were made available nationwide in one place only within WatWasWaar (almost entirely). The entire collection of scans is transferred from WatWasWaar to the State Service for Cultural Heritage (RCE). This digital collection contains more than 17,000 scans of the loose-leaf card index of signed cadastral survey maps and detailed maps (collective plans and minute plans) and over 143,000 scans of the pages of the corresponding original designating tables (OAT-sheets). At present we are working hard to make this material available online again in full before January 1st 2016 via the Image Bank of the RCE. Other collections WatWasWaar also contains several other collections or "map layers". These include scans of RAF aerial photographs from World War II, various collections of scans of historical maps and OAT plot information from some parts of the Netherlands. It is being discussed with the institutions that have provided these collections what will be done with this.
