The New Amsterdam History Center has entered into a partnership with the National Archives in The Hague, NL, to publish a blog called Dutch-American Stories starting now and continuing for twenty-four months. We will print, in our newsletter, and on our website, the stories that relate to New Amsterdam. Twelve of the stories are written by historian Jaap Jacobs and twelve by other experts in the field of Dutch American Studies. The first to appear is “The Patron Saint of New York” by Jaap Jacobs.
