This changed in 1974 when the New Netherland Project was founded. For a quarter of a century this project\, with its accompanying New Netherland Institute (NNI)\, has helped cast light on America’s long-neglected Dutch roots. The NNI has supported the transcription\, translation\, and publication of the 17th-century Dutch colonial records held by the New York State Library and State Archives. These records constitute the world’s largest collection of original documentation of the Dutch West India Company and its New World Colonies. They represent an irreplaceable resource for researchers exploring this important chapter in American history\, its legacy of cultural traditions\, and its qualities of tolerance\, diversity and entrepreneurship. In 2010\, the New Netherland Research Center opened to the public with support from the Dutch Consulate of the Netherlands in New York. The center provides a place where all can study the fascinating story of the Dutch global reach in the 17th century and its lasting impact on today’s world. \n\n\n\n\n\n URL:/events/39th-annual-conference-new-netherland-institute/ LOCATION:35 SEMINARY PLACE\, NEW BRUNSWICK\, NJ\, 08901\, United States END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
