This unique database is the result of the citizen science project S.O.S. Antwerp. Thanks to the efforts of more than 750 volunteers, the death cause registers from 1820 to 1946 have been digitized. Antwerp was far ahead of the rest of Belgium in this regard. In addition to the cause of death, the records contain details such as name, age, marital status, and occupation of the deceased, providing a rare and detailed glimpse into life and mortality in the city of Antwerp.
