The Romanian Academy Library (Biblioteca Academiei Romane), located in Bucharest, was founded in 1867 and, since 1885, is a depositary library serving as the first Romanian national library as well. Among its holdings numbering more than 11 million items the library hosts the most outstanding patrimonial collection of manuscripts including 6000 volumes of medieval and modern Romanian manuscripts, more than 1500 Greek and 860 Church Slavonic manuscripts, all dating from the XIIth.-XIXth. Centuries. Authoritative catalogues of these collections were published under the aegis of the Romanian Academy Library. Using scanned images from the Romanian poet Mihai Eminescu‟s manuscripts and from artist Carol Popp de Szathmary‟s photographs two digital library applications have been developed joining the images and their bibliographical records in a metadata base. The Romanian Academy Library is an active partner in IT bilateral projects:
