The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) welcomes the KB, the National Library of the Netherlands, as its newest Associate Member today!

The KB maintains an ongoing commitment to preserve the nation's comprehensive collection of publications about and from the Netherlands. As one of the pioneers in digital preservation, the library has had an operational trusted digital repository since 2002 and has experienced several paradigm shifts over the years. To withstand these transitions and keep up with innovation, they have remained an active participant in the digital preservation community ever since.
