Library of Congress Announces The Atlantic World

The LOC announced last week The Atlantic World: America and the Netherlands, which is now available at http://international.loc.gov/intldl/awkbhtml/awkbhome.html .

This site, which is available in both English and Dutch, "explores the history of the Dutch presence in America and the interactions between the United States and the Netherlands from Henry Hudson's 1609 voyage to the post-World-War-II period." To this end the site contains over 11,000 images from the LOC, the National Library of the Netherlands, and other Dutch institutions.

Focus your exploration on the themes and collections links. Under themes you'll see that the information and materials in the collection is broken out by date. Under collections you'll see materials divided into types, including books and other printed materials, maps, and photographs and prints.
