The Digital Library for Dutch Literature (Dutch: Digitale Bibliotheek voor de Nederlandse Letteren [ˌdiɣiˈtaːlə ˌbiblijoːˈteːk voːr də ˈneːdərlɑntsə ˈlɛtərə(n)] or DBNL [deːbeːʔɛnˈɛl]) is a <a href="/facts/Website/SAsjJnca">website</a> (showing the abbreviation as dbnl) about <a href="/facts/Dutch_language/yIB5lbsx">Dutch language</a> and <a href="/facts/Dutch_literature/l2r6PLVC">Dutch literature</a>. It contains thousands of literary texts, secondary literature and additional information, like biographies, portrayals etcetera, and hyperlinks. The DBNL is an initiative by the DBNL foundation that was founded in 1999 by the Society of Dutch Literature (Dutch: <a href="/facts/Maatschappij_der_Nederlandse_Letterkunde/kgL6Tyh9">Maatschappij der Nederlandse Letterkunde</a>).
Building of the DNBL was made possible by donations, among others, from the <a href="/facts/Dutch_Organization_for_Scientific_Research/9JsoMCrF">Dutch Organization for Scientific Research</a> (Dutch: Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek or NWO) and the <a href="/facts/Nederlandse_Taalunie/Pp8rUlWW">Nederlandse Taalunie</a>. From 2008 to 2012, the editor was René van Stipriaan [nl]. The work is done by eight people in <a href="/facts/Leiden/rs70mHlG">Leiden</a> (as of 2013: The Hague), 20 students, and 50 people in the <a href="/facts/Philippines/ARpmxXQV">Philippines</a> who scan and type the texts.
