Biblioteca Digital Hispánica

- What is the problem addressed and the context which triggered the introduction of the practice? The need for preservation of bibliographic works, since their digitization reduces the face-to-face consultation and, therefore, their deterioration.
- How does the practice reach its objectives and how it is implemented? The Hispanic Digital Library is the digital library of the National Library of Spain. It provides free and free access to thousands of digitized documents, including books printed between the 15th and 19th centuries, manuscripts, drawings, engravings, brochures, posters, photographs, maps, atlases, scores, historical press and sound recordings.
- Who are the main stakeholders and beneficiaries of the practice? It was created in 2008 and the objectives of Biblioteca Digital Hispánica are: Disseminate the Spanish cultural heritage while ensuring the protection and safeguarding of our cultural heritage. To fulfill the commitment acquired with the European Union to contribute in the creation of the future European Digital Library that will offer a unique and multilingual access through Internet to the funds of the European cultural institutions. Become a fundamental tool to promote research on our culture, by facilitating the consultation of digitized funds to scholars and Hispanists from around the world without having to travel to Madrid.
