Cultural Heritage - Introduction
In the United States, so far, the major interest with regard to cultural relations with the Netherlands has been in the field of genealogy. However, in the last few years, thanks to the New Netherland Institute, many relevant sources on Dutch-American history have been published, giving a great impulse to the study and research of the Dutch legacy in the United States. Furthermore, in some American universities attention is dedicated to the Atlantic World, albeit that it is often narrowed to include only the American sphere of action. In 2009, with the commemorations of 400 years of relations - the Henry Hudson year - we hope that the attention to and interest in the shared heritage with the Netherlands will be stimulated, extending to new topics and connecting with the rest of the Atlantic. A closer cooperation with those universities that are already working on the American Atlantic could broaden our mutual networks, thus encouraging research programmes.
