Abstract The Surinamica Collection at the Allard Pierson (University of Amsterdam) is a thematic collection containing numerous printed books, manuscripts, photographs, prints, maps, and archival materials. These documents often reflect a colonial perspective but also include publications that offer a counter-narrative, written by Surinamese authors. Through two examples — premodern books and maps, and twentieth-century children’s books — it is possible to explore how a postcolonial analysis of these documents provides new insights into the social and scholarly significance of this heritage collection.
