The Royal Collections of the Netherlands (Koninklijke Verzamelingen) can be seen as the accumulation of objects and sources of information that members of the houses of Nassau and Orange-Nassau, and people around them, have gathered and kept over many centuries. They are private possessions that are now managed by a number of foundations. The collections reflect the history of the Dutch royal family from its origins in the German nobility. As such, they are the Dutch counterparts of such collections as the British Royal Collections in Windsor and the Danish Historiske Samlinger in Copenhagen.
The great majority of the collections that together make up the Royal Collections of the Netherlands are managed by the Royal House Archive (Koninklijk Huisarchief), one of the departments of the Royal Household (Dienst van het Koninklijk Huis). Its director is an officer of the Household. He is also responsible for the public activities of the Royal Palace (Koninklijk Paleis) in Amsterdam, including its opening to visitors and the exhibitions and symposia held there.
