GLOBALISE is a project of the Huygens Institute with the International Institute of Social History, the Digital Infrastructure Department of the KNAW Humanities Cluster, VU University, the University of Amsterdam, and the Dutch National Archives. It is funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO), grant no. 175.2019.003.
