The Open Preservation Foundation (OPF) is pleased to welcome the Bibliothèque nationale de Luxembourg (BnL) as our most recent charter member. As part of its legal missions as a national heritage library, the BnL collects, catalogues, enriches and preserves all publications issued in Luxembourg as well as all those issued abroad relating to the Grand Duchy. The BnL has been the country’s central cultural, scientific and research library since its founding. The BnL has been digitising documents from the Luxemburgensia collection since 2002. Its mass digitisation program falls within the context of the European Union’s objectives to make Europe’s cultural and intellectual heritage accessible online. Through the development of their Digital Preservation project, the BnL seeks to ensure the management, availability and long-term preservation of digital publications, resulting from a digitisation process, collections of born digital material or coming through the digital legal deposit. The BnL joins our members from archives, libraries, research institutions, universities, and service providers collaborating to advance digital preservation knowledge and technology.
