Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision

The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision preserves and manages over 750,000 hours of Dutch television, radio recordings, photographs, and media objects in its collections.

The institution emerged from the 1919 Nederlandsch Centraal Filmarchief and transformed into its current form in 2002, following the 1997 establishment of the Netherlands Audiovisual Archive.

The institute functions as the main repository for Dutch broadcasting organizations while providing educational resources about media evolution and societal influence through exhibitions.

Located in the Media Park complex, the institute operates from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, offering access to researchers and public visitors.

The building contains a digital collection system that manages the automatic recording and storage of all Dutch public broadcasting content transmitted on television and radio.
