Integrating Archaeological and Historical Records in Dutch East India Company Research
Chapter
Abstract
The Dutch East India Company, VOC, was founded in 1602 by the amalgamation, under government pressure, of various overseas trade companies. It was a decentralized company with branches in six important cities in the Netherlands. Each of these branches had its own administration, warehouses and shipyards. The central direction of the company consisted of a board of 17 directors, 8 of whom were appointed by the City of Amsterdam.
