Description
A note appeared in the proceedings of the Holland Common Council in De Grondwet that the council authorized the payment of $50.00 to "A. C. Van Raalte." The notice was in the column of "Unfinished Business." Since Rev. Van Raalte was deceased and his son no longer in Holland, it is uncertain who this Van Raalte is.

Notes
Description of the document and reference to the Holland Museum by Dr. Elton J. Bruins.
About the collection:
Elton J. Bruins, long-time professor in the Department of Religion at Hope College, spent years collecting documents by and about Albertus C. Van Raalte, founder of Holland, Michigan and early patron of Hope College. Documents were gathered from dozens of public and private collections, making a nearly exhaustive collection of Van Raalte's writings and reflections. It is these documents that make up the "Van Raalte Papers."
Digitizing the Van Raalte papers was supported by the Dutch Culture USA program by the Consulate General of the Netherlands in New York. The project was done in partnership with Heritage Hall at Calvin University, which also digitized its Van Raalte collections.
