Dear list-members,
I would like to draw your attention to 3 digital collections originating
from Dutch institutions that have recently been made available on Wikimedia

a Dutch MD working in Guinea-Bissau and Senegal between 1973 and 1974. The
images show aspects of daily life such as food preparation, festivities and
