Oral history from ‘colonies’ in the Netherlands ‘lets other voices be heard too’
Historian Wim de Jong examines how life in South Limburg and Groningen changed as a result of mining and gas extraction.
What is it like to live as a descendant of a South Limburg miner, or as a citizen of Groningen next to gas drilling? Wim de Jong will focus on the impact of mining and gas extraction in the daily lives of local residents.
A three-person project team will conduct interviews with some 30 experts by experience in both provinces.
