The images in this repository have been used as the raw data in Transkribus for creating the open-access transcription dataset which can be freely accessed from this repository: https://zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/zenodo.10005253. While we own the intellectual rights over the digital transcriptions in this other repository, we have so far not been able to clear the intellectual rights over (all of) the underlying images, which is why this repository is offered under "restricted access" only. Under Belgian copyright law, the image data could only be shared under specific circumstances and this repository is therefore mainly used for long-term sustainability purposes. Please contact us via the Zenodo platform if you are interested in re-using this data.
