Digitization of 200,000 Images or Documents from the National Archive and National Library between 2024 and 2025
The Government of Andorra has announced plans to digitize a significant portion of the holdings of the National Archive and the National Library. Between 2024 and 2025, approximately 200,000 images or documents will be converted into digital format.
This ambitious project aims to improve accessibility to the nation’s cultural heritage and historical records. Digitization will allow researchers, students, and the general public to access these materials remotely, preserving them for future generations.
The National Archive holds a vast collection of documents, including historical texts, maps, and photographs. By digitizing these materials, the government will ensure that they are widely available for study and research.
Similarly, the National Library houses an extensive collection of books, manuscripts, and other written works. Digitizing these materials will make them more accessible to readers and scholars, both within Andorra and beyond.
The project is expected to cost approximately 1 million euros and will be funded through the government’s budget. The digitization process will be carried out by a specialized company with expertise in preserving and digitizing cultural heritage materials.
The digitized images and documents will be made available through an online portal, which will be accessible to the public free of charge. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
