The Voyages of New Netherland project has created a database that captures the activities of ships that undertook voyages between the Dutch Republic and the colony of New Netherland, and aims to integrate them into the larger story of the colony.
The database offers accurate, up-to-date, details about voyages and corrects misinformation, often reprinted many times over from secondary, outdated, or misinterpreted sources.
It is a treasure trove of information for those researching the colonial Dutch, but can feel daunting to navigate.
Join the database's creator, Julie van den Hout, who will review its features and demonstrate the best methods for searching, extracting, and interpreting the data. Learn all about this fascinating database and how you can use it in your own research.
This program is jointly sponsored by the New Netherland Institute, New Amsterdam History Center, and the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society.
