House of Orange-Nassau Historic Collections Trust

In 1972 Queen Juliana established the House of Orange-Nassau Historic Collections Trust. The purpose of the trust is to acquire and manage items or collections relating to the history of the House of Orange-Nassau.

The trust, which is run by the Prince of Orange, Ms A.C. van Es and Mr J.M. Boll, owns the building in which the Royal Archives are housed. Its secretary is the director of the Royal Archives. The trust’s museum collections are managed by the director and the staff of the Royal Archives.

Parts of the collection are on permanent loan to Het Loo Palace National Museum in Apeldoorn and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
