Dear Elisabeth, Here is Juliana Monteiro, from São Paulo/Brazil. I work as a collection manager at the Immigration Museum of State of São Paulo and have been taking part in a few GLAM projects involving my institution and others. In the past, the State of São Paulo was the destination for many immigrants coming from many countries, including Netherlands. Most of the Netherlanders settled down in the city of Holambra, that today is very famous by its flower production. I send here the link of Holambra´s Immigrant Museum (*http://www.museuholambra.com.br/Holandes/index.html <http://www.museuholambra.com.br/Holandes/index.html>) *and the page of Holambra in Wikipedia.nl (https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holambra).
Maybe I can try to contact Holambra´s Museum staff in order to help. Or, if you want to contact them directly, I can help them to understand how to upload images on Commons (if it is necessary). Best regards, Juliana 2016-06-14 7:36 GMT-03:00 Elisabeth Wiessner <[email protected]>: > Does your country have historic ties with the Netherlands? > Project Netherlands and the world > > Over the centuries, the Netherlands have developed close ties with many > countries through trade and colonialism.
