Since 2000, the Dutch AIDS Memorial Quilt, together with the stories of the panel makers, is displayed on a website. On 30 November 2007, AIDSmemorial.nl was launched, an interactive website where everybody can remember a loved one who died from AIDS his or her own way. This can be done with photos, texts, news articles, music and videos.
In A life in pictures surviving relatives and friends tell their personal stories, show their personal relationship with the deceased and in doing so, give him or her a face. The text can be further illustrated with pictures of the commemorated life.
In the Remembrance section, there is room for memorial objects and published memorial texts. Apart from a quilt panel there may be other testaments of commemoration, such as a goodbye message, death announcements, obituaries or images of a memorial headstone.
In Legacy, the objects, heritage and ideals of the loved one are represented. This may be any item that was created by the deceased or to which he or she contributed. For example: professional or personal artistic expression, texts, involvement in campaigns or volunteer work etc.
In the years 2008-2010, articles from the news archive of the Dutch NAMES Project have been digitized and added to the memorial.
In total, more than 720 unique people are remembered (May 2011).
