Jaboat o dos Guararapes Brazil The expulsion of the Dutch from the Northeast of Brazil, after 24 years of occupation, from 1630 to 1654, fuels all sorts of myths in the national imagination. There are those who worship the Dutch, and in particular the Dutch governor-general between 1637 and 1644, Maurice de Nassau, as a “good colonizer”, a man concerned with development, arts and sciences in the colony.

Jaboat o dos Guararapes Brazil No local onde se desenrolaram as duas batalhas decisivas entre portugueses e holandeses, as chamadas Batalhas dos Guararapes, em 1648 e 1649, foi construída esta igreja em que estamos agora.

Recife Brazil No período em que a Companhia da Índias Ocidentais colonizou territórios do Nordeste do Brasil em nome do governo da Holanda foi produzido um grande volume de relatórios, cartas, editais, leis, petições, entre outros documentos que iam e vinham entre a Holanda e o Brasil. Eles fazem parte da história dos dois países e grande parte pode ser consultada aqui, no Instituto Arqueológico, Histórico e Geográfico de Pernambuco, onde estamos agora.

Een significant deel van deze documenten kunnen hier worden geraadpleegd, in het Archeologisch, Historisch en Geografisch Instituut van Pernambuco, waar we ons nu bevinden.
