The company teleoffice went broke and I needed a new sponsor. A separate .nl domain name for an individual was at the time not allowed, and being a student, also too expensive. In 1998 I found the Bank of Dutch Municipalities ([http://www.bng.nl www.bng.nl]) willing to sponsor the webspace. The site at the time was already dealing with international civic heraldry as well and was being translated into English. In 1999 the bank applied for the domain name www.ngw.nl, which was introduced in 2000. In the meantime the name was changed to International Civic Arms and later to International Civic Heraldry. | The company teleoffice went broke and I needed a new sponsor.

In 2004 the bank stopped the sponsoring and the domain name was transferred to me. In 2006-7 I had hardly any time to make additions to the site, but I revived my activities in 2008. | In 2004 the bank stopped the sponsoring and the domain name was transferred to me.
