The Corpus Diplomaticum Neerlando-Indicum comprises six volumes, and was published between 1907 and 1955 by Mr J.E. Heeres and Dr F.W. Stapel at the Koninklijk Instituut voor Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde (KITLV). These volumes contain a representative collection of political contracts and treaties concluded by the Dutch in Asia and permits granted to them.
For the first time these volumes have been scanned and published online by The Corts Foundation together with a searchable database of all the 1193 contracts and indexes on persons and places. Each volume separately has such indexes, but all the indexes are now combined together to give full access to all six volumes. Thousands of persons and places are named in these indexes and together form a valuable source for historians and other researchers.
All the scans, database and indexes can be accessed on the Indonesian website of sejarah-nusantara.
The open data of this publication can be downloaded from the DASA project page.
UPDATE November 2019:
The six volumes are republished on this website by The Corts Foundation in PDF format including OCR text recognition. In this way the Corpus Diplomaticum is fully text searchable and the volumes are also freely available as download.
