"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
