The KB strives to build up a comprehensive collection of published materials to reflect the Dutch cultural heritage. However, as our processing capability is restricted, we have had to exclude certain categories, such as newsletters of a predominantly local character. Please note that this exception does not cover books on local subject-matter: local memorial or historical books are regard as integral parts of the Deposit Collection.

Examples of catagories excluded from the Deposit Collection:

  • provincial, regional or local government reports
  • advisory letters
  • term papers
  • publicity material
  • internal business information
  • free local papers

    When the list is not conclusive, you can always contact the KB Collections Department.
