The National Library of Romania (NLR) ensures the creation, processing, preservation, management and valorisation of the national documentary patrimony. With its highly valuable collection, the NLR is part of the European cultural heritage, a real cultural wealth for future generations, and therefore it will endorse the role of coordinator of the digitization process at the level of the national system of libraries. The National Library of Romania is involved in international projects aiming at the creation of digital content relevant for the European Culture: The European Library – TEL and ENRICH – European Networking Resources and Information concerning Cultural Heritage, projects coordinated by the National Library of the Czech Republic. The National Library of Romania has contributed to the projects Manuscriptorium / ENRICH by ancient Romanian books from the 16th-17th centuries.
