Abstract

The holdings of the Municipal Archives of Amsterdam not only document the history of Amsterdam, but they also constitute an important source for the history of the Dutch colonial experience in North America. Important sources for the history of New Netherland, the seventeenth-century Dutch colony in present-day New York, are found in the notarial archives of Amsterdam; these archives are carefully indexed. Also available in the Amsterdam Municipal Archives are the archives of private institutions such as banks and land companies that provide documentation of finance, trade, and land development in North America.
