KB maintains a deposit service called e Depot, based on the IBM product DIAS (Digital Information and Archiving System) in 2003. By using this service, the KB has developed a workflow for archiving electronic publications and has implemented the other parts of the infrastructure in which the deposit system is embedded. Now that the infrastructure is in place and the service is operational, new plans and projects have started to technically and functionally extend the e-Depot. These include the development and implementation of a Preservation Manager, tools for permanent access to digital objects, and a new project that addresses massive storage and preservation of TIFF-images, delivered by museums and other cultural institutions. Thus, the e-Depot does not only provide a long-term solution for born-digital material (like e-journals), but for digitized objects as well. In this paper we will focus on the development and practical use of one of the permanent access tools: the Universal Virtual Computer (UVC) for images
