The most populous Dutch settlements in the 17th century were in Nieuw Amsterdam (lower Manhattan) and in Albany, and most Dutch records produced in the period were produced in one of those two cities. This lunchtime lecture focuses on the documentary record of upper Manhattan, looking at what records survive and what they tell us about diversity and intercultural interactions in this less well-studied area.

Los asentamientos holandeses más poblados del siglo XVII se ubicaron en Nueva Ámsterdam (la parte baja de Manhattan) y Albany, y la mayoría de los registros holandeses producidos en ese período se crearon en una de esas dos ciudades. Esta conferencia de mediodía se centra en los registros documentales del Alto Manhattan, analizando qué registros sobreviven y qué nos dicen sobre la diversidad y las interacciones interculturales en esta área menos estudiada.
