I need to take the time to scan my documents from the Zeeland Archives
I have this thick stack of papers from the Zeeland Archives (Zeeuws Archief). I have only gotten one piece of information from them, although that one piece was good (the name of Jan Olivierszoon's ship and its dimensions). I am looking through the first pages, and can read tantalizing pieces. What I need to do is to start scanning them so that I can enlarge them so that they are more easily read (they are two pages to the copy). The main difficulty with that is that the amount of time involved is enormous.
