The National Library of Estonia (NLE) is also fulfilling the tasks of a parliamentary library and acting as a cultural centre. As a research Library, the NLE focuses on the humanities and social sciences, as a library research and development centre it provides professional training and coordinates LIS standardisation and terminology work.
The map collection of the National Library of Estonia contains about 33,300 maps covering a period of five centuries. The library invites the wide public to check their homes or offices for any maps that are no longer needed, and to donate them to the library to help reduce the blank spots in history.
