From 1974 to 2010, the New Netherland Project translated and transcribed over 7,000 pages of Dutch-language administrative records from the archives of New Netherland, now in the collections of the New York State Archives and Albany County Hall of Records. The New Netherland Research Center continues this work to the present. The translations have been published in twelve books as part of the New York Historical Manuscripts: Dutch / New Netherland Documents series. The introductions to these books are printed here.
Please not that the introduction to Volume 8, which was published last year, will be added shortly.
