Another day another Dutch #dishist archive: cycling distance this time! Bikepath wraps around the zoo and I spotted a rhino walking through the woods which was a bit wild.

And today I find myself on the other side of the country! Regionaal Archief Tilburg is one of the few places where they still have the records of a local chapter of a national association for disabled people. Fun fact - they organised an accessible version of Dutch carnaval #dishist

Was fun to be in the National Archives in the Hague again, 1st time since visiting as a student! Found some revealing records about changes in the financial position of disabled people in the Netherlands after 1945 - a request to fund research documenting financial inequality was denied #dishist
