STRATEGIC GUIDELINES

Documentation Services

Our library and archive services aim to conserve and disseminate Galicia’s bibliographic and documentary heritage.
Particularly outstanding among its holdings are the Martínez-Barbeito Library, the García-Sabadell Library, the Said Armesto Archive, the Barrié Foundation’s multimedia archive of its own activities, and the foundation’s publishing archive.
At present it has a catalogue of 40,000 volumes of monographs and periodical publications. It is accessible for research and documentation, whether by researchers with institutional affiliation (who must accredit their affiliation with an academic or specialized institution) or independent researchers (who must register by supplying personal identification and the subject of their research.)
