One of the New Netherland Institute’s primary missions is the translation of Dutch documents. To share this important documentary history with you, we’re offering supporters a chance to own one of the most recently translated volumes in the New Netherland Documents series. When you give a $25 donation, you can choose either Charles Gehring, Council Minutes, 1656-1658 (Syracuse: Syracuse University Press, 2018) or Janny Venema, Correspondence, 1659-1660 (Syracuse: Syracuse University Press, 2022). For a $45 donation, we will be happy to send you both. Donate here
