Oud Wasgoed

Oud Wasgoed is a collective of young, enterprising and creative historians. We involve people in the past, we challenge people on the past and we stimulate people with the past. Through personal history telling, we connect younger and older generations. We use various means, from creative timelines, installations using new technologies, events, film, tours to written articles. Content always takes centre stage, packaged in an entertaining form. Clients include the European Heritage Label, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Rutgers WPF, the University of Amsterdam and the Dutch ministry for Education, Culture and Science. The collective is run by Willemijn Riedijk and Janna Overbeek Bloem. In countries other than the Netherlands, Oud Wasgoed is known as Past Ink.
