Twenty years ago today, the KB National Library of the Netherlands launched its e-Depot. The creation of this digital archive was big news in 2002. The KB was the first organisation in the Netherlands to start preserving material that was originally published in digital form. Today, the e-Depot contains more than 40 million publications.

The KB, the National Library of the Netherlands, has signed a multiyear contract with library software maker Ex Libris for the use of their digital archiving system Rosetta.

The e-Depot of the KB, the national library of the Netherlands, has been awarded the CoreTrustSeal for Trustworthy Data Repositories. 

In 2021, the KB, National Library of the Netherlands, reached six million users with its digital services.
