What can I deposit?

Physical publications include books, reports, magazines and newspapers on paper or on a digital data carrier (CD or DVD). All publications to be deposited must meet our depot’s inclusion criteria.

After sending

As soon as we have received your publication, we will check whether you are already known to the Depot. If not, you will receive a letter with a reply card for registration.

For periodic publications, you will receive a request to send us the subsequent issues by post. If a periodical does not yet have an ISSN but does meet the inclusion criteria of the Depository of Dutch Publications, the ISSN Centre will immediately issue an ISSN.
