About this book
Industrial heritage and the history of technology are becoming increasingly important topics in Dutch history. The development and operation of our infrastructure form part of this. For example, the Netherlands once had a dense network of railways and tramways. More than 200 companies and public bodies are or were involved in the operation of these lines. The ‘Overview of Dutch Railway and Tramway Companies’ presents the key details of each of these companies.
This publication, which previously appeared in abridged form in 1961 with a second edition in 1967, by Mr Sluiter – a figure well known in railway circles – incorporates a great deal of research data that has since come to light. Corrections and additions have been made to the section covering the period up to 1967, whilst over thirty years of history have also been added to this overview. In addition to the opening and closing dates of railway and tramway companies, a classification system for railway and tram lines has been included, which can be used when organising collections. Supplemented by numerous illustrations, maps, registers and lists of the locations where the companies’ archives are held, the book is indispensable for railway and tramway enthusiasts, archivists and corporate historians alike.
Or simply for anyone with a passion for this fascinating subject!
