I am doing a project on the Dutch East India Company and I am wondering if you wonderful historians could point me the right direction as far as sources go. Online sources are best as it's extremely hard for me to get books right now. I know this sub isn't quite for this sort of thing so if anyone wants to be my source instead of pointing me towards one I would of course love that too.
Thanks to anyone for taking the time to answer my question.
Love, BumbleToad
