Project

The sociabilization of a tradition of democratic government: in search of the origin of our contemporary political culture.

The aim of this research project is to collect data of the annual elected urban officials. The power of this database is the combination of simple, but fragmented information, i.c. the names of civil servants during a long period of five centuries (1300-1800). These data have to support a research into the long term evolution of democratical traditions of government in the Netherlands.
