Luuk Schreven (Katholieke Universiteit Nijmegen, Netherlands)

Career:

My academic career started in 1995 when I went to study history at the Catholic University of Nijmegen. It is only in these last few years that I found my real interests in the study of history, which are: historical demographics and sciences related to this subject. I was introduced by Onno Boonstra to the NLKAART-project. As a student-assistant I went to work to map the boundary changes in the Netherlands between 1811 and 1830. An other project I worked on together with Onno Boonstra and Casper Coert is the Museum of the Dutch History, which is a online based museum consisting of little papers on certain subjects covering the Dutch history (www.kun.nl/ahc/vg).

In 1999 I have been busy as an intern on the editorial staff of the Dutch ‘Tijdschrift voor Geschiedenis’. Together with another friend and colleague, Jan van de Mortel, I have also been studying the Dutch patterns in infant mortality rates in the late 19th and early 20th century. This last research made use of the NLKAART-project to display regional differences in infant mortality rates.

This year it is my goal to graduate on a study handling infant mortality in Nijmegen. The intention is to research this on the neighbourhood level and to compare the periods before and after the demolition of the city wall.
