At the University of Windsor, a small group of academics and librarians with roots in Dutch language and culture set out decades ago to create a lasting home in Canada for Netherlandic studies.
Their work grew into the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Netherlandic Studies (CAANS), a national organization that continues to publish the journals and newsletters it established in the 1980s.
