For more than three decades, the New Netherland Institute (NNI) has helped cast light on America's long-neglected Dutch roots. Created in 1986 as the Friends of the New Netherland Project, it has supported the transcription, translation, and publication of the 17th-century Dutch colonial records held by the New York State Archives and State Library. These records constitute the world's largest collection of original documentation of the Dutch West India Company and its New World colonies.
