 Upstate NYer  here; I'm mainly a Wikipedia user, but in doing research about New Netherland, I've begun to add primary documents here so I can link to them clearly and easily from the Wikipedia articles I work on.

I have transcribed a few documents from the Van Rensselaer Bowier Manuscripts, a document compiled by the State University of New York, which chronicles the history of the Manor of Rensselaerswyck and its founder, Kiliaen van Rensselaer. I also transcribe documents hosted by the New York State Museum

Documents added:
 * Charter of the Dutch West India Company
 * Amplification of the Charter of the Dutch West India Company (1622)
 * Amplification of the Charter of the Dutch West India Company (1623)
 * Charter of Freedoms and Exemptions
 * Notification by Samuel Godyn, Kiliaen van Rensselaer and Samuel Blommaert that they send two persons to New Netherland to inspect the country
 * Registration by Kiliaen van Rensselaer and associates of a colony above and below Fort Orange, on both sides of the North River
 * Instructions to Bastiaen Jansz Krol from Kiliaen van Rensselaer (January 10, 1630)
 * Contract of sale of land along the Hudson River from the Mahican Indians to Kiliaen van Rensselaer
