The New Netherland Institute (formerly Friends of the New Netherland Project) is a non-profit organization created to support the translation and publication of 17th-century Dutch documents from the period of the Dutch colonization of New Netherland.
This effort began when the New Netherland Project was established in 1974 by the New York State Library and the Holland Society of New York.[1] As of 2013, it has translated over 7,000 pages of documents.[2] The institute also supports the New Netherland Research Center, which opened in 2010 at the New York State Library.[3]
