Amsterdam Protest Dataset - Amsterdam Protest Time Machine (v1.0)

This repository contains the code and data for the Amsterdam Protest Time Machine's Amsterdam in Motion 750 application (which can be seen at the Amsterdam in Motion 750 exposition at the Westergasterrein, Amsterdam), a tool that visualizes the history of protest in Amsterdam. The application allows users to explore historical images of protests in Amsterdam from 1535 to 2015, drawn from the public image banks of the Amsterdam City Archives, the National Archives of the Netherlands, and the North Holland Archives. It allows users to explore protest history by protest type, theme, and location across multiple archives in a single interface.

The application was created within the Amsterdam Protest Time Machine project at the CREATE Lab of the University of Amsterdam's Faculty of Humanities, which develops open digital infrastructure for Amsterdam's history.

While the developed application that visualized the data is only visible on-site at the Amsterdam in Motion 750 exposition, the data can also be explored online through the IIIF Collection:
