Archives and Libraries[edit | edit source]
Access to the Vatican Apostolic Library is not available to the general populace: The Library is open to:
- researchers and scholars with appropriate qualifications and/or relevant scientific publications;
- teachers and researchers at Universities and other institutes of Higher Education;
- graduate students (laureati) who are pursuing research for a doctoral dissertation;
- in exceptional cases, undergraduate students who can demonstrate that they need to consult material which is available only at the Vatican Library.
- it is not open to High School students, nor, as a rule, to undergraduate University students.[1]
In March 2014, the Vatican Library began an initial four-year project of digitizing its collection of manuscripts, to be made available online.
