This dataset contains detailed annotations of Dutch East India Company (VOC) archival documents based on the TANAP (Towards a New Age of Partnership) project. The dataset provides precise boundaries and classifications for documents within digitized archival volumes, serving as training data for machine learning approaches to historical document segmentation and classification. This work supports the broader goal of making VOC archives more accessible beyond traditional finding aids that often reflect colonial perspectives.
