| 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.
Celebrate our new offices!
After years of planning, the headquarters of the Holland Society of New York moved to 20 W. 44th, the
Mechanics and Tradesman's building, during January of 2008. The final tenant improvements on the Fifth Floor
have been completed and the new library and office spaces are ready. Be sure to visit this beautiful new space the next time you are in New York.
