  • Description: This issue of JHNA introduces the ongoing collaborative digital art history project, the Dutch Textile Trade Project (dutchtextiletrade.org). This project brings together textual, visual, material, and quantitative sources from the Dutch East and West India Companies to produce new perspectives on the historical textile trade, which has long been of interest to economic historians and art historians alike. As the essays in this issue demonstrate, the early modern textile trade is a complex and deeply interdisciplinary field of study, often tasked with interpreting obsolete, inconsistent, or unclear historical vocabularies; making sense of an extant yet regrettably incomplete material record; and confronting the implicit and explicit prejudices of imperialism. As art historians who are deeply aware of these challenges, we contend that the visual culture of the early modern world—in conjunction with economic data and extant material samples—can help shed new light on the irregularities, absences, and biases of the historical record. Indeed, one of the goals of this project is to bring an essential cultural dimension to the study of historic textiles, which can be informed by their representation in images, their reworking as garments and furnishings, and their use as currency in global trade networks, most notably the transnational slave trade. Critically, the Dutch Textile Trade Project is built on interdisciplinary collaboration and a commitment to accessibility, which is why we are happy to present these textual, visual, material, and quantitative data in an open-access format, with data visualization tools that enable users to ask their own questions as they explore the Dutch historical textile trade.
