| Welcome to the Holland Society!
The Holland Society was founded in New York City in 1885 to collect information respecting the settlement and history of
New Netherland. Its main objective is to find and preserve documentation about the inhabitants' lives and times so as to
elucidate the political, social, and religious patterns in the Dutch colony. Historical publications are sponsored, along
with encouragement for family studies and genealogy. Many Society members are especially active in genealogical research
and publication.
The Holland Society originated The New Netherland Project which is translating and publishing the 17th Century records
held by the New York State Archives. Among other current sponsorships are The Papers of Jacob Leisler Project and
Records of the Translations of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Flatbush, Kings County New York.
Explore New York - Dutch history using a unique opportunity in collaboration with Google maps and the Henry Hudson 400 Foundation.
