Wikibase Resistance centralises data about more than 150,000 persons involved in the Resistance against the occupant during the Seconde World War in Belgium. In the wake of the war, their engagement led to the creation by public authorities and by the Resistance movements themselves of a significant number of personal files about the recognition of their status as resistance fighters by the Belgian state. The data are derived from these files (or preliminary forms and files) and refer to the corresponding archive fonds.

The database also contains information about the resistance movements and networks, related archive fonds, and many underground newspapers. Furthermore, these information were matched, wherever possible, with the correpsondent Wikibase identifiers of resistance fighters, thereby enriching the data with input from external sources.
