13-11-2026 - Soon: a new website!
Dear Library User,
We always strive to enhance your Peace Palace Library experience. In the last couple of months, we have been working hard on improving and modernizing one of our main features:
Our new and improved website will go live in the morning of Monday the 16th of November!
To make sure that the transition to our new website will be as smooth as possible, there are a few things to note:
From Thursday November 12, around 15:00 CET, some parts of our website will go offline. This includes:
- Signing up for a new account and membership
- Extending your membership
- Booking a visit
- This will not impact your ability to login with your (active) account, or to use our Catalogue and other resources
- On the new website, your current account is retained. You will need to reset your password before you are able to log into your account again.
- Memberships that will expire between 12 and 15 November, will be automatically extended until November 16th.
- If you have an active account and want to book a timeslot in the Reading Room for Friday November 12th or Monday November 16th, please send an email to library@peacepalace.org, or call us directly at +31 70 302 4125.
These functions will be available again once our new website is online.
We are very excited to showcase our new website this Monday and we hope you will enjoy it too!
Kind regards,
The Peace Palace Library staff
The Library will host the 45th Annual Course of the IALL in 2027!
We look forward to welcoming the 45th Annual Course of the International Association of Law Libraries to the Netherlands in 2027! Together with the Sanders Law Library, Erasmus School of Law, Rotterdam, we will explore how law, legal information, and international cooperation help us navigate both Dutch and international waters. The Annual Course will be held 26-30 September 2027.
Kluwer databases in-house access
Dear Library User,
Unfortunately, the Kluwer databases are from now on only available for use in the Reading Room, when connected to our WiFi. Please use the link on our Licensed Databases | Peace Palace Library. Separate titles out of these databases have been added to our library catalogue. Apologies for any inconvenience.
