Research and Publications

The Elton J. Bruins Library

Our focus on research requires extensive use of books, pamphlets, maps, and other resources in the area of Dutch American studies. Rev. Dr. Elton J. Bruins亚洲色吧� gift of his collection of over 450 books was the beginning of our specialized research library and serves as its cornerstone.

The next major gift was received from Rev. Dr. Gerrit Ten Zythoff, professor emeritus, Southeast Missouri University, a noted scholar in Dutch American studies. After his retirement, he gave the bulk of his collection of Dutch works to the institute. These books, many of which are rare and invaluable, are an important part of our collection.

The work of our senior research fellows requires us to purchase materials and solicit contributions so our library can become a premier resource in Dutch American studies. 

We are interested in:

• Copies of documents relating to Dutch migration in the 19th century
• Copies of documents relating to A. C. Van Raalte
• Works published in the Netherlands that relate to our field of interest and increase our understanding of the context out of which the Dutch immigrants came to America
• Selected publications that pertain to the research of the institute and the current projects on which the fellows are working
• The minutes of the Christian Reformed Church and the Reformed Church in America

The institute does not collect original documents; these are housed in the Hope College Archives and Special Collections.

The Theil-Nyenhuis Research Center

We conduct our research and publish original works from the beautiful Theil-Nyenhuis Research Center on the Hope College campus. We collaborate with the Hope College Archives and Special Collections and are fortunate to be able to draw upon materials from its Dutch American Heritage Collection.
