About New Holland Foundation

The New Holland Foundation is a foundation for mutual heritage. From the end of the 16th century onwards, the Dutch sought possibilities for trade overseas. Colonies, trading posts and forts were established in America, Africa, Asia and Australia. At the peak of the Dutch Golden Age, the colony of ‘New Holland’ was founded in Brazil, and it is to this colony, that the Foundation owes its name. The NHF focuses on mapping and spreading knowledge about the often forgotten shared history of the Netherlands. In this way, the foundation aims to contribute to the improvement of economic and cultural relations between the Netherlands and the many countries the Netherlands shares a mutual history with.
