1500 - 2000: The Atlantic World and the dutch

Cultural Heritage - Introduction
Brazil has now become a priority country in the Dutch policy for cultural cooperation. This status will hopefully   facilitate and stimulate activities between the Netherlands and Brazil regarding the conservation, accessibility and implementation of shared cultural heritage. Although brief, the Dutch presence in Brazil is of great importance for Brazilian historiography. Over the last decades Brazil itself has initiated many relevant projects and collaborations, focusing on rescuing and improving the accessibility of the cultural legacy shared with the Netherlands, for example the Projeto Resgate and the database of the Liber Laboratório of the University in Recife. Research on this period has increased, offering more and more remarkable publications, in Recife as well as in São Paulo. Still, for many Brazilians, the Dutch language remains the main obstacle. Therefore Dutch language courses, academic exchange programmes and translations of sources into English and Portuguese are desirable and should be encouraged.
