EYE Film Institute Netherlands
EYE has been given the task by the government of managing our cinematographic heritage, as well as preserving and disclosing it. Its collection consists of, among others, 19.750 unique film titles. The organization encompasses three areas: Collection, Presentation, and Management. As of January 1st 2010 the Filmmuseum, the Dutch Institute for Filmeducation and Holland Film joined forces in a new organisation: EYE Film institute Netherlands.

National Archive 
The National Archive forms part of the Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science (OC&W) and houses close to 1000 years of national history. Documents of our colonial history, the Netherlands as a trade nation, stories about governance and democracy, and a million photos all visualize the Netherlands in the twentieth century. The organization has over 100 kilometers of archives appealing to the imagination, accessible to everyone. To preserve its extensive and valuable collection for future generations, the organization donates much of its attention to restoring and preserving vulnerable archives. Currently, the National Archive is investing in digitization. Check www.nationaalarchief.nl
Centrale Discotheek Rotterdam
The CDR has a music collection of 300.000 CD’s, 300.000 LP’s, and 10.000 music-DVD’s at its disposal. They can be borrowed throughout the Netherlands via local libraries. Requests are handled automatically via www.muziekweb.nl, the CDR’s website. Such a large supply creates public need for guidance and direction. With its website, the CDR fulfills a pioneering role in this area. The CDR also has the necessary expertise in distributing digitized content in an approachable way among a broad audience.

Association of Public Libraries
The Association of Public Libraries (VOB) is a branch organization representing the Dutch public libraries. More than 200 public libraries can be found in the Netherlands. Together, they have over 1100 establishments in the country. A third of our population is a library member; half frequently visits a library. More than 100 million items are annually lent out and the libraries organize an enormous amount of activities. The libraries provide access to collections of digital content for all the county’s inhabitants, physically (via on-site computers) as well as digitally. All libraries have broadband Internet access, forming an infrastructure allowing for the distribution of all sorts of content. The public views libraries as reliable, independent, and objective. In this respect, they are the most approachable institutions in the Netherlands. Check www.debibliotheken.nl
Netherlands Knowledgeland Foundation 
Knowledgeland (KL) is an independent think tank setting itself the task of developing the Netherlands into a key region in the international knowledge economy, in a way that creates surplus value both economically and socially. To reach this goal, the organization develops strategies, projects, and learning networks. Through projects such as Digital Pioneers, City Link (‘Stedenlink’), and Creative Commons, it has become widely experienced in stimulating and facilitating innovative services in public, semi-public, and commercial domains. For Images for the Future, KL functions as a Research & Development department in developing new services, conducts research in implementing open content licenses, and carries responsibility for communication and knowledge-sharing, both within and outside the project.
