This historical programme intends to safeguard the archives of the former Dutch East India Company (VOC, 1602-1795) as the mutual heritage of three continents. To this end it is crucial to improve the archives´ accessability for scientists and the general public with the aid of information technology. TANAP offers a M.A. and a Ph.D. programme to train and enable young promising (Asian, African and European) scholars to do research in VOC archives.
When can be applied
An application for this particular subsidy is not possible. The programme runs from 1999-2006.
Extra Information
The programme is co-ordinated by WOTRO and the NWO research council for the Humanities, together with the National Archives of the Netherlands (Nationaal Archief, see www.tanap.net) at the Hague and the Research School CNWS of Leiden University.
The programme is based on international co-operation aimed at the exchange of knowledge for a sound management of the common heritage. To strengthen this co-operation and to form a new international network, a new generation of historians will be educated in Asia and Africa together with historians from The Netherlands.
