In recent years, prominent figures of Letters, Arts, and Sciences have donated their archives and libraries to the Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation.
The Foundation is committed to preserving these invaluable collections and making them accessible to researchers.
The donated libraries are integrated into the Historical Library but are maintained as distinct entities and catalogued individually. Their contents span a wide range of subjects and include items of significant intellectual and material worth, such as incunables, early printed books, and first editions. In addition to their historical importance, the research and personal archives contain rare manuscripts, correspondence from notable individuals, audiovisual materials, and other significant documents.
