Hermine Christine Hélène Moquette (Sluis, 25 April 1869 – Bilthoven, 17 December 1945) was a Dutch historian and one of the first female archivists in the Netherlands.
She graduated in June 1898, making her the third woman at that university to obtain a doctoral degree (the first was physician Aletta Jacobs in 1876).
Moquette's dissertation concerned the influence of the British novelist Samuel Richardson on the work of Dutch writers Aagje Deken and Betje Wolff.
She started that position in March 1899 and after one year she had worked her way up to temporary civil servant with the rank of deputy archivist.
For the Nieuw Nederlandsch Biografisch Woordenboek she wrote biographies of famous Rotterdammers and she was co-author of Rotterdamsche Straatnamen, historischegelegd (1910).
[2] She occasionally gave lectures and published historical articles based on current events in daily and weekly newspapers.
[1] During the years of World War II, she was greatly disturbed to learn of the German bombing of her old hometown of Rotterdam as well as the failure of Dutch forces to stop the advances of Nazi troops.
