It carries out research projects focused on protection and better access to unique and endangered parts of its collection. In particular the library concentrates on microfilming and digitalisation of valuable parts of its collection of periodicals. In doing this, the library secures the future use and study of this type of documents, because most of the periodicals of the late 19^th and early 20^th century periodicals are printed on low quality acid paper that deteriorates rapidly.
