4. Archives transferred from India to the
Netherlands
hen
the Dutch possessions in India were ceded to the English,
a number of documents remained in Dutch hands. These are mainly
resoluties and correspondence
with the Netherlands and Batavia dating from the last decades
of the Company's administration. Mixed together with the documents
from the Hoge Regering concerning
the external establishments already mentioned, these were
brought to the Netherlands in 1863. When an inventory of these
was compiled in the National Archives of the Netherlands,
the papers concerning the establishments in India were removed
from the rest and housed in a separate archive, the archives
of the voormalige Nederlandse Bezittingen
in Voor-Indië. Only documents of which there was no
shadow of doubt that they had once pertained to archives of
Dutch establishments in India were included in this. Any dubious
cases remained behind among the papers of the Hoge
Regering(10).
