The DAAAG Virtual Centre and Web Portal is about the preservation of Dutch migrants’ experiences capturing the vital aspects of the Dutch connection with Australia and Australians from 1606 to the present and give profile to the “invisible Dutch” in the Australian historical and cultural landscape.

The Community

The DAAAG Centre purpose is to collate all manners of information; diaries, photographs, exhibitions, documents, oral histories, migrant literature, films as well as profiles of prominent Dutch Australians to display on this Web site for the community at large to experience, enjoy and learn from.

Research & Researchers

The DAAAG Centre will also provide a focal point and conduit for academics engaged in research on Dutch Australians and the Dutch Diaspora worldwide. This Web Centre will be a platform for interaction and research findings, workshops, conferences and future collaborations national as well as international.

Sponsors

The DAAAG innovative initiative acquired VOC support because it is a tangible promotion of Dutch-Australians’ history and heritage that will also foster international academic collaboration. DAAAG is therefore housing the archive of the Netherlands Australie 1606-2006 Web site as per VOC request.

More Support

You can sponsor the DAAAG Web Centre either as a whole or specific parts of it, such as The Story Corner, a Who’s Who, one of its Databases, or the virtual safe – where Dutch Australians can archive digitised family photographs, documents, oral histories and film. Importantly, it will have a number of varied components, including styles of presentation, to be of interest to people of differing cultural, geographic, educational, and socio-economic backgrounds. It is a winner.
