The Soerabaijasch Handelsblad ("Surabaya Commercial Paper") was a Dutch-language broadsheet[1] in Surabaya, in what was then the Dutch East Indies. It was published by Kolff and Company.[2]
Newspapers in Surabaya date to 1836, when the Dutch-language Soerabaijasch Advertentieblad was published.[3] Soerabaijasch Handelsblad was established in 1853, under the name De Oostpost ("The Eastern Post"); it was the second newspaper published in Surabaya.[4] Although the initial publication was limited to advertisements, the newspaper eventually began including news and items of general interest, including film[5] and book reviews.[6]
The name was changed in 1865 to Soerabaijasch Handelsblad, which remained in use until the newspaper was shut down in 1942, following the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies.[2] Although for most of its existence the newspaper was dated using the Gregorian calendar, from 17 May to 6 June 1942 (during the occupation, which lasted until 1945) it used the Japanese kōki (皇紀) calendar.[7]
The Soerabaijasch Handelsblad was reestablished in 1945 as the Nieuwe Courant ("New Courant"); through 1946 it was billed as the official newspaper of the Allied Military Administration-Civil Affairs Branch,[8][9] a semi-military organization tasked with restoring Dutch colonial administration and law in the recently proclaimed Republic of Indonesia, which claimed most of the Indies.[10] This publication lasted until 1951, when it was renamed the Nieuw Soerabaiasch Handelsblad.[9][11] The newspaper was ultimately shut down in 1957.[12]
