National Documentation

The National Documentation section is in essence one of the main reasons our Library is named the Curacao National Library.

It is our duty to preserve and archive every literary work published on the island and to obtain every material published internationally about the island.

In this section we have archived old newspapers, magazines, books and printed law decrees. Our goal is to facilitate better service to the public and to preserve this information for future generations.

Opening Hours
Monday – Friday: 8.00 am – 5.00 pm
