Book sponsorship campaign

Sponsor our rarest treasures

This initiative stems from the need of preserving some of our most valuable documents, be it due to their rarity, importance or fragility. Six of these documents have been selected and will be digitalized as soon as the goal is met, so that they can be accessed and spread without bounds. If you would like to sponsor one of our treasures, you can do so by filling the sponsorship form and donate anything from 10€.

Mission acomplished. Thank you very much to all of you who have participated. Soon, the Library will contact the sponsors of the documents.
