Digital preservation is about keeping our digital collection accessible in the long term. Read more about this expertise of the KB.

You can order high-quality digital reproductions of material from our collections, for example a title page or newspaper article.

As a member of the KB or a non-profit organisation, you can borrow books from other Dutch or foreign libraries via the KB. We call this Inter Library Loans (ILL). This page explains how ILL works and how much it costs.

Registration Agency NBN is a service of the KB. It ensures that (scientific) institutions can use sustainable links. What does that entail?

If you’re starting a career in the sciences and want to use our digital collection for research, why not become a researcher-in-residence at the KB? You can use our databases and collaborate with our Digital Humanities team.
