Here is the map of the Belgian gendarmerie brigades. Feel free to zoom in and see it in full screen. When you click on a brigade, additional information appears. The data it contains is as follows :
- Brigade location,
- Reference from the State Archives,
- Address (street only),
- Country,
- The territorial group to which the brigade belonged in 1966 and in 1977 respectively,
- The district to which it belonged respectively in 1966 and in 1977.
The brigades represented on the map are not all gendarmerie brigades – these are only the brigades for which we have visual material and will be the subject of a virtual tour.
The map is still under construction. This example is a case study on the province of Hainaut (n=49). Data from other Belgian provinces, as well as international data, will be added in the coming months.
