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 />
