1875–1940
A Dutch jurist who also stepped into print as an author, he is best known for a study on the so-called white slave trade that circulated widely enough to be preserved by major digital libraries.

by Wolter Louis Albert Collard
Born in 1875 and deceased in 1940, Wolter Louis Albert Collard was a Dutch legal figure whose career is chiefly remembered through bibliographic and archival records. Dutch reference data identifies him as a lawyer and jurist, and his name appears in library catalogs and public-domain collections rather than in extensive modern biographical profiles.
The work most clearly associated with him is De 'handel in blanke slavinnen', a Dutch study that was later digitized by Project Gutenberg and listed by major library projects including The Online Books Page. Those records suggest that, alongside his legal career, he contributed to public discussion of social and legal issues through serious nonfiction writing.
Because detailed personal information is scarce in the sources available online, much of his life remains only lightly documented in easily accessible references. Even so, the survival of his work in digital archives shows that his writing retained enough historical interest to be preserved for new readers well after his death.
