Summary/Abstract: A library's special heritage collections aim to amass and preserve heritage documents and make them available to scholars, researchers and collectors. If their interest is focused on the extrinsic cultural-scientific info-documentary content of the documents, it is not required to study the original document; a physical or digital copy of the text or iconographic representation is sufficient. Heritage collections specializing in various types of documents, particular themes, chronological intervals or well-defined geographical areas can reconstruct local and national specificities that can be integrated into the evolution of humanity in general, all of which can become the subject of interesting and valuable research.
