The State government entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Netherlands on Thursday for the Cosmos Malabaricus project that is aimed at shedding further light on the history of Kerala using 18th Century Dutch documents.
The agreement was signed in the presence of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and the Dutch Ambassador to India Marten van den Berg.
The Cosmos Malabaricus project is being jointly implemented by the Kerala Council for Historical Research (KCHR), the National Archives, and the University of Leiden in the Netherlands. The project will be completed in six years.
