Dr. Howard G. Hageman served as President of the General Synod of the Reformed Church and the New Brunswick Theological Seminary, as Domine of the Holland Society and as editor of the Society's journal De Halve Maen. A founder of the Friends of the New Netherland Project in 1986, he served as its first President until his death in 1992. As the Reverend Dr. William J. F. Lydecker, his successor as president of the Friends, wrote in 1993, Dr. Hageman's "wide contacts in the Netherlands and in America, his good sense and good humor, his wise counsel and leadership, and his deep interest in Dutch history enabled the Friends to provide much-needed support to the important work of the [New Netherland] Project." Dr. Hageman was appointed to the rank of Knight Commander in the Order of Orange-Nassau by H.M. Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands.

The Howard G. Hageman Citation honors Dr. Howard G. Hageman, a founder of the Friends of the New Netherland Project, later known as the Friends of New Netherland and currently the New Netherland Institute. The Board of Trustees of the New Netherland Institute periodically awards the citation to an individual who has, over time, provided particularly noteworthy support and encouragement to the New Netherland Project, now the New Netherland Research Center. The Award consists of a framed citation.
