Biography
Eef Dijkhof studied Medieval History at the University of Amsterdam, where he gained his PhD in 1997 with a thesis on the production of charters of the most important towns and cloisters in Holland and Zeeland in the thirteenth and first quarter of the fourteenth centuries. He is specialized in the study and publication of medieval documents and has issued various source publications and studies in this domain. Since 2001 he has been working at Huygens Institute, where he was engaged in the publication of vol. V of the Oorkondenboek van Holland en Zeeland, and vol. V of the source publication on the history of the meetings of the States and cities of Holland. At present he is the project leader of the project entitled ‘Repertorium van Ambtenaren en Ambtsdragers van de graven van Holland en Zeeland in de Middeleeuwen’ (RAA II). Furthermore, he is the secretary general of Porta Historica, a network that was founded at the initiative of Huygens Institute in 2006 and which accommodates internationally scholars and institutions that are involved with or interested in opening up, editing and analysing historical documents.
