Communiques, manuscripts, correspondence, reports, and other documents. The Venezuela - Netherlands Papers contain a great
deal of information about these countries from 1870-1876. There are documents about the negotiations of the national debt
of Venezuela with other countries, communiques and reports about various ships that were either captured or used to smuggle
goods and arms to and from Venezuela, as well as legislation regarding children born in Venezuela of foreign parents. Some
of the documents discuss the involvement of the United States in an attempt to settle disputes between Venezuela and the Netherlands,
and there are materials regarding Venezuelan presidential elections.
Cornelis C. Goslinga assembled the papers in preparation for a work on smuggling that he was having published.
