On March 14th, 2008 four Belgian federal institutions announced their common project to digitize their map collections. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any substantial information about it, except for some small articles in the Belgian press. The websites of the four institutions remain silent. Nevertheless, the expectations run high, since considerable sums of money are being mentioned.

The four institutions are:
- Rijksarchief (State Archives)
Koninklijke Bibliotheek van België (Royal Library)
- Koninklijk Museum voor Midden-Afrika (Royal Museum for Central Africa)
- Nationaal Geografisch Instituut (National Geographic Institution)
