For your discussion of the centenary in The Netherlands, we ask you to keep in mind the following:

-Your article should primarily focus on the centenary and the legacy of the war not on the history or events of the war itself. Please keep the historical background to a minimum.

-The article should address as many aspects of official and unofficial commemoration as possible (exhibitions, conferences, parades, theatre, documentaries, etc.)

-It should address the political, cultural, and social trends in commemorative activities and practices.

-In contrast to our “Commemoration – Cult of the Fallen” articles (see https://encyclopedia.1914-1918-online.net/search/?fq%5Bquery%5D=Commemoration+-+Cult+of+the+Fallen), this section focuses on contemporary not historical commemoration.

-Your article is intended for a general as well as specialist audience. Please do not assume too much background knowledge of diverse locales.

Some other questions you might want to consider:

– Were commemorative events state driven or popular initiatives?

– Did commemoration occur on a regional/local or national level?

– Where did commemoration take place? (gallery, museum, internet, school, monuments, historiography (op-ed, scholarly articles, lectures))

– How/how much were centenary events funded?

– Did the centenary create any changes in memory?

– Was there popular interest in the Centenary? Were there public debates?

– Who were the ‘memory agents’ behind the commemoration and what was their personal investment?
