  • Access confirmed

The Dutch national library's full-text archive of Dutch books, newspapers and magazines from the fifteenth century onwards.

Before you rely on itOlder material is open to anyone, but newspapers and books still in copyright can only be read from the KB reading room or a Dutch library terminal. The scanned OCR of older type is uneven, so vary your spellings.

Genuine full text rather than catalogue records, so it is searchable word by word for Dutch history, literature and press research.Telebem editors
