On December 8th, the Dutch Trading Post Heritage Network presents a symposium on the occasion of their annual meeting. This will be held in the Netherlands for the first time. The DTPHN is an international network of Asian public and private institutions that work with heritage related to the Dutch East India Company (VOC). This network aims to share knowledge and research on VOC heritage and to cooperate on historical research initiatives. The member institutions are based in India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Taiwan and Thailand.
The symposium will introduce the members of the network and will provide reflections on heritage of the VOC era from their perspectives. Furthermore, the members will discuss the role and importance of this heritage today. The conference will open with a keynote lecture (to be announced) focused on the historical connections that lie at the foundation of the network and what they mean today. Which insights does it provide for international cultural cooperation? And how could sharing knowledge across different contexts contribute to the restoration of international relations?
Following the keynote lecture, various network members will present their current research. Finally, there will be an opportunity to meet the network members in De Duif over drinks from 17.00h to 18.00h.
The Dutch Trading Post Heritage Network Symposium is organised by DutchCulture, the National Archives of the Netherlands, the Dutch Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage (KIEN), and the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands.
