This research project started in January 2005 at the<br />

Vrije <strong>Universiteit</strong> Amsterdam and was moved to<br />

the Department of <strong>History</strong> of <strong>Leiden</strong> University in<br />

September 2006. Manon van der Heijden is<br />

coordinator and principal researcher of the project.<br />

Griet Vermeesch is postdoc-researcher. In June<br />

2007, Elise Nederveen van Meerkerk will be<br />

appointed as post doc-researcher as well.<br />

The main aims of the project are twofold:<br />

1. We wish to investigate the development of civil<br />

services in the Netherlands by focusing on the area<br />

of tension between citizens, church and<br />

government. In this way we aim to discover the<br />

nature of the interaction that existed between the<br />

civil initiatives undertaken by the government,<br />

citizens and church in the transition from private<br />

to public.<br />

2. We wish to investigate the interaction between the<br />

idea of citizenship and the practical allocation of<br />

civil services between church, government and<br />

citizens. Central to this study will be the long-term<br />

process between 1500 en 1800 from city citizen to<br />

national citizen and the effects of<br />

bureaucratization on the ideal of citizenship and<br />

the involvement of citizens in civil services. The<br />
