The Dutch Royal Archives[1], a part of the Dutch Royal House[2], are the managers of the Dutch Royal (historical) collections. These collections are the Dutch equivalent of the British royal collections[3].
Before the 19th century the Netherlands did not have a Monarchy but instead had a political system with hereditary Stadtholders who owned big private collections of estates and houses filled with furniture, art, books and archives. When the last Stadtholder of the Netherlands William V had to flee the Netherlands when the French invaded in 1795 he left behind most of this properties. The new rulers decided to make this property State property.
After the defeat of the French under Napoleon in 1813 his son William I of the Netherlands returned and was crowned King of the newly formed United Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1814. He decided not to reclaim all of this property but to leave especcially the art collections in public ownership to create what would later become the base of the collections of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam[4] and the Mauritshuis in The Hague[5].
The house archives exist in recent form since 1825[6], first just as a collection of the important family archives[7], later a library and collections related to the House of Orange were added. The collections are privately owned by members of the Dutch Royal Family or are place in different foundations. The biggest of these foundations is the House of Orange-Nassau Historic Collections Trust (SHVON). Queen Maxima of the Netherlands is chair to this foundation.[8]
Because of the role played by the House of Orange-Nassau in Dutch society, past and present, and that of other countries in Europe and around the globe, many of the items in the Royal Collections of the Netherlands are closely associated with important events and periods of Dutch or world history. The archives, library works, documentation and photographs held in the Royal Collections of the Netherlands provide information about this history and use an active loan policy so national and international musea can apply for loans from the different collections[9]. As the archives and other collections are privately owned the reigning monarch of the Netherlands has to give permission for research in, or loans from the collection.[10]
