Over 400 Years of Dutch History in Australia

The Dutch Australian Cultural Centre (DACC)

The Dutch Australian Cultural Centre (DACC) was founded in 1983 to provide a central organisation ‘to preserve the rich Dutch history in Australia. It has developed as a research and resource centre for study on the contributions the Dutch have made to Australia. To cater for this need a reference library was built up and an archive developed.

Over 380,000 Australians self-identified as having Dutch ancestry. The Centre has also hosted a variety of activities including lectures and a number of symposia and exhibitions about Dutch maritime, migration, military and merchant history in Australia.

In 2020 the DACC embarked on a digitalisation programme and by 2024 had close to 1,000 articles on its website, with some 7000 digitised photographs and documents.
While first generation Dutch Australians have largely chosen to assimilate into Australian society generally, their grandchildren are rediscovering their Dutch connections and the website has become the major one stop hub for Dutch-Australian information.

Many Dutch clubs have donated their records to the DACC, while older Dutch immigrants are recognising the importance of continuity and preserving their history by donating some of their family material. As some other clubs, charities and organisations disappear with the aging of the Dutch community, DACC’s role as a cultural heritage hub is thrown into relief, raising questions as to its future viability without an injection of considerable resources to support it.
