The Society of Daughters of Holland Dames
The Society of Daughters of Holland Dames - Descendants of the Ancient and Honorable Families of New Netherland - was founded in New York City in May 1895 as an hereditary organization to preserve and promote the legacy of the seventeenth-century Dutch settlers of New Netherland. Its ongoing mission is to collect, preserve, and maintain genealogical and historical documents relating to the Dutch in America by encouraging scholarly historical research.[1]
Its counterpart of male members is the The Holland Society of New York.[2] Both Societies share a commitment to historical preservation of early New Netherland documents. For example, The New Netherland Project, initiated by The Holland Society, focuses on the translation and publication of 17th Century records held by the New York State Archives. Complementing that initiative, The Society of Daughters of Holland Dames has partnered with the New Netherland Institute (NNI) to promote the availability of online transcriptions and translations of all the original seventeenth-century New Netherland administrative records housed at the New York State Library and Archives.[3] The translation of these first founding documents, through a project by Dr. Charles T. Gehring at the NNI, transformed an understanding of the impact of the Dutch on the founding of the United States of America. For example, these translated records were the historical research basis for the Russell Shorto’s [4] book "Island at the Center of the World."
Membership consists of female direct descendants of an ancestor who lived in New Netherland before or during 1675.
