- Two KB websites with medieval manuscripts archived in the Wayback Machine - April 2026 - Dutch only
On December 15, 2025, two older KB websites containing medieval manuscripts were taken offline: manuscripts.kb.nl and mmdc.nl.

The entire process was carried out with the help of an AI assistant. Read the full story here.
