For the past decade (as part of the Mutual Cultural Heritage programme
of the Netherlands National Archives), I have been compiling a series of
archival guides to Dutch manuscript materials on India and Ceylon from
the years c. 1600-1825 (titled "Dutch Sources on South Asia, c.
1600-1825", so far two volumes, published by Manohar, New Delhi).
I am now working on the third volume, covering Dutch materials of this
kind that are kept outside the Netherlands. My question is therefore: do
you keep or know of any manuscripts (both texts, drawings, and maps)
produced by (order of) Dutchmen that somehow concern South Asia (mainly
India and Ceylon) and date from the period c. 1600-1825?
I may be contacted at l.p.j.bes@hum.leidenuniv.nl. Thank you, Lennart
