Memoranda of Conveyance (Memories van Overgave) of Officials of
the Dutch East Indies *
1849 - 1962
Starting in 1849, the government of The Netherlands ordered all of their civil servants leaving office in the East Indies
Colony to write a memorandum of conveyance for their successors, containing a careful review of political
developments in the district concerned and also giving background details on places, persons and issues important
for the successor to know about. This has served as an important reference source for historians and other students of
Indonesia in the colonial period. These records constitute this collection.

Resolutions of the Heren Zeventien of the Dutch East India
Company *
1601 - 1796
The resolutions of the Seventeen Gentlemen, the highest governing body of the Dutch East India Company (VOC),
form one of the most important sources for knowledge abut the Company as an international business. The Heren
Zeventien normally sat twice each year, during the periods in which ships arrived from or departed to Asia. Because
the Heren Zeventien were the Company‘s highest governing body, their resolutions are in many cases a good starting
point for research into the history of colonial/trade relations between the Dutch Republic and the area around the
Indian Ocean, including such countries as Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Burma, Thailand, Malaysia,
Cambodia, Vietnam, Taiwan, China and Japan.
