KB e-Depot

In its capacity as National Library of the Netherlands, the Koninklijke Bibliotheek (KB) is responsible for the Dutch deposit library, the aim of which is to collect, catalogue and preserve all publications appearing in the Netherlands. As the number of electronic publications is on the rise, the KB has embraced the important task of preserving and providing long-term access to Dutch electronic publications. It has developed a digital information archiving system which is the technical heart of the 'e-Depot' project. It is primarily intended for archiving publications by Dutch publishers. In addition, the KB's research initiatives are geared towards ensuring long-term access.
