Physical Description: 11 linear ft. (12 boxes)
Description: The collection is fragmentary, having suffered several moves from larger to smaller quarters. What remains, however, provides an understanding of the activities of the various Dutch mortgage companies in the Pacific Northwest. The more significant series include: Northwestern Pacific Mortgage Company Ledger, 1887-1893; Holland bank annual reports, 1898-1954, and corporation papers, 1924-1946; Holland Company, auditor's reports, 1940-1940; Hypotheek Land Company, auditor's reports 1941-1971; and De Tweede Northwestern and Pacific Hypotheek Bank, annual reports 1911-1971, and auditor's reports, 1933-1971. For the Northwestern and Pacific Hypotheek Bank, significant series include: ledger, 1889-1893; corporation papers, 1889-1934; legal opinions, 1897-1904; expired contracts, 1896-1971; lawsuits, 1894-1898; auditor's reports, 1933-1971; annual reports, 1889-1971; and mortgage payment records, 1940-1971. At the beginning of World War II, the Hypotheek Bank was reorganized and its assets transferred to Curacao in order to protect them from the Germans who at that time occupied the Netherlands. The reorganization and the subsequent tax problem are well documented. Online finding aid available: http://nwda.orbiscascade.org/ark:/80444/xv85517.
