This theme encompasses three databases containing personal and family information. Respectively, these cover Indian, Javanese and Chinese contract labourers who were brought to Surinam in groups between the second half of the 19th century and the 20th century. In all, the three databases cover about 70,000 immigrants and an unknown number of their descendants.
The original sources for these databases are in Surinam. Contract Labour is still being developed. A fourth database is to be added, featuring details of West Indian immigrants to Surinam.
