The KB, National Library of The Netherlands was established in 1798. It preserves everything ever written in or about the Netherlands - unfiltered, permanent, and accessible. Not as an archive of the past, but as a place where the past, present, and future interact. We connect people with knowledge, with one another, and with the bigger story of The Netherlands. Connection is at the heart of everything the National Library of The Netherlands does, leading to advancement for people and society at large.
