Anefo, short for Algemeen Nederlandsch Fotobureau (General Dutch Photo Bureau), was a Dutch photograph press agency established in 1944 during the Second World War by the Bureau Militair Gezag. It worked alongside the Algemeen Nederlands Persbureau and other press agencies to promote government publicity and build a documentation archive for the Dutch press, and was privatized after the war before ceasing operations in 1989. Its archive of more than 260,000 images had been digitized and contributed to Wikimedia Commons by 2018.
