Access restrictions on files regarding pardons for death penalties have been partially lifted. Archives can now provide acccess if the person requesting the pardon is deceased. Since the death penalty was taken out of the criminal code in 1870, in practice this means that all the records are now available to researchers. They can be accessed at the National Archives in The Hague, record group 2.09.71. [Source: Staatscourant 29 March 2018]
