SUMMARY:Live From New Amsterdam: The Ancient House
DESCRIPTION:Presented live on Zoom\nFREE \nREGISTER\n\nAlthough New Amsterdam has often been the focus in histories of New Netherland\, Albany was a center of Dutch-Indigenous trade and diplomacy. Its importance continued long after the English Conquest in 1664.  Calling it “the ancient house\,” the Haudenosaunee made Albany into a place where they negotiated with Dutch settlers\, and\, as a result\, it became a shared space between the communities. Join New Netherland Institute director Deborah Hamer for a discussion with Dr. Erin Kramer about her new book The Ancient House: Constructing Community in the Seventeenth-Century New York Borderlands (UNC Press\, 2026)\, which explores how Albany was established as a center of cooperation between the Dutch and the Haudenosaunee. \n\n  \nDr. Erin Kramer \nDr. Erin Kramer is an Associate Professor of History at Trinity University in San Antonio\, Texas. \nShe is is a historian of early America whose research examines how Indigenous communities experienced and responded to settler colonialism\, and how Indigenous nations affected colonial development. She is the author of The Ancient House: Constructing Community in the Seventeenth-Century New York Borderlands\, which was published by the University of North Carolina Press in 2026. Her article\, “‘That she shall be forever banished from this country’: Alcohol\, Sovereignty\, and Social Segregation in New Netherland\,” published in Early American Studies in 2022\, won both the John M. Murrin Article Prize from the McNeil Center for Early American Studies and the Clague and Carol Van Slyke Article Prize from the New Netherland Institute\, as well as Honorable Mention for the Essay/Article Award from the Society for the Study of Early Modern Women and Gender. She is currently working on a second book\, a comparative study of the roles of water and irrigation in early American colonial expansion and Indigenous resistance. \n  \n  \n\n  \nDeboarah Hamer Executive Director\, the New Netherland Institute \nDeborah Hamer is Director of the New Netherland Institute\, where she is responsible for initiatives aimed at identifying\, preserving\, digitizing\, and translating Dutch language documents in repositories around the world. She is a historian of the Dutch Atlantic world and received her Ph.D. from Columbia University. \n  \n  \n\nLive From New Amsterdam is an ongoing series hosted by the New Netherland Institute and the New Amsterdam Project at The New York Historical. Through vibrant conversations with scholars and historians\, each program will investigate new and exciting research related to New Amsterdam\, New Netherland\, and the lasting legacies of Dutch rule in New York. \nLive From New Amsterdam is presented in partnership with the New Netherland Institute. \n  \n\nLocation:\nPresented live on Zoom \nTicket Instructions:\nOnline: Click on the “Register” button at the top of this page.

SUMMARY:New Netherland Institute Annual Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:The New Netherland Institute’s 2026 Annual Conference in Albany\, NY\nThe Jesuit missionary Isaac Jogues famously described New Amsterdam as a place where eighteen different languages were spoken. Although he meant to suggest that the Dutch colony was a confused and confusing place\, he did put his finger on an important characteristic of New Netherland. While it may have been a relatively small colony\, it was also global in reach. \nJoin the New Netherland Institute for an exploration of some of the variety of ways in which New Netherland connected to the world beyond its borders. We will explore New Netherland’s connections to its English\, French\, and Indigenous neighbors as well as to the Caribbean and the Netherlands. \nStarts:  Saturday\, November 7 (Day 1): 9:30am to  5:30pm \n\nSunday\, November 8\, Day 2: 9:30am –  1pm \nTHE CONFERENCE SCHEDULE\nLocation: Carole F. Huxley Theater\, New York State Museum\n222 Madison Ave.\nAlbany\, New York 12230 \n  \nREGISTER BELOW\n

This program is free and open to the public.  Register above. \nWe often think of 17th-century Amsterdam as a haven for religious tolerance in an otherwise intolerant world\, but in 1656 a young man was excommunicated by his Portuguese-Jewish synagogue for “horrifying heresies.” Baruch Spinoza has been a source of fascination and revulsion ever since his time. Albert Einstein\, when asked about own his faith\, once cited Spinoza’s writings on religion as his inspiration. Was Spinoza an atheist\, as detractors in his time charged\, or finding his own interpretation of faith?

SUMMARY:Alida Livingston’s World: Women in New Netherland and Early New York
DESCRIPTION:At our 44th\, in October 2022\, was Alida Livingston’s World: Women in New Netherland and Early New York\, held in conjunction with the New-York Historical Society. \n\n\n\n\n\nMuch of our energy over the past months has been directed toward planning our beloved New Netherland Institute conference\, a fixture of the fall schedule for many years. We’re pleased to be able to return to an in-person event this year after a two-year hiatus. At the same time\, we’ve learned a great deal from the past couple of years\, and we know that our members value the flexibility of online accessibility. This year’s conference\, “Alida Livingston’s World: Women in New Netherland and Early New York” will be a hybrid event. It will be held at the New-York Historical Society and live-streamed via the New-York Historical Society’s website. Full details are provided below. We thank the New-York Historical Society\, the New Amsterdam Project\, and the Dutch Consulate in New York for working with us to put this blockbuster event together\, and I hope to see many of you in New York City in October. ~ Deborah Hamer\, NNI Director \nExplore the lives of women–Dutch\, African\, Indigenous\, and English–who shaped and built New Netherland and colonial New York in the 17th and 18th centuries. Presented in partnership with the New Amsterdam Project and the Center for Women’s History at New-York Historical Society\, this conference will feature two panel conversations and a keynote address inspired by the on-going translation of the papers of Alida Schuyler Livingston (1656-1727)\, an elite Dutch woman who exerted substantial influence over colonial politics\, economics\, and diplomacy. Her correspondence with her husband Robert Livingston (1654-1728) represents one of the most significant collections of women’s writing in 17th-Century North America. Leading historians and scholars will use Livingston’s surviving letters\, business records\, accounts\, and documents to unearth the impact of women\, including those enslaved by the Livingston family and those indigenous to the region\, on the history of the Dutch and later British colony. \n  \nCONFERENCE PROGRAM: \nMuch of our energy over the past months has been directed toward planning our beloved New Netherland Institute conference\, a fixture of the fall schedule for many years.
