Fully AI-GeneratedUsers of Open Archives can have summaries generated from the recognized texts (transcriptions) produced through text recognition (OCR) and handwriting recognition (HTR). Neither of these artificial intelligence tasks is perfect, but they are often more than sufficient to make the historical document understandable. In the transcripts, names are underlined in green and clickable (to search the personal entries on Open Archives for the name in question), the recognized dates have a light gray background and recognized place names have a light purple background. The results of the application of (European) artificial intelligence have not been verified by a human.

In The Hague, a court case involved Maria Elisabeth Petersen (defendant) against Jacobus Cuylenburg (plaintiff). The case concerned a marital dispute where the husband accused his wife of adultery. The wife defended herself by stating that her husband was the only adulterer, having shown more affection to dark-skinned women than to his legal wife. She argued that he abandoned her without legitimate reason and only visited her secretly. Despite bringing a small amount of capital into their marriage, he managed it so poorly that he had to be placed under financial guardianship. She claimed she sacrificed her youth and happiness to what she called "the most unbearable male creature," and barely had enough for basic necessities. The wife expected the court to dismiss his accusations with indignation, especially regarding unproven claims about gold buttons and buckles.
