The project's primary goal is to make seventeenth century Dutch colonial records held by the New York State Archives available online. The records are among the earliest administrative records documenting the European colonization of the region that now forms all or part of the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. The records also play a critical role in documenting the ascension of the Netherlands to its status as the premier trading nation of the world during the seventeenth century.
