Users of Open Images also have the opportunity to add their own material to the platform and thus expand the collection.

The collection contains newsreels from the Polygoon collection and several other films on the Netherlands in the twentieth century. It contains historical news events, with topics such as art, culture, transportation, health and healthcare, nature, politics, sports, pets and fashion.
