The National Library of Luxembourg (BnL) is a multifunctional library. As a heritage library, the BnL is dedicated to collecting, preserving and cataloguing documents, print and online, created in or related to Luxembourg. As a scientific library, it offers its users international records about all areas of knowledge. Furthermore, the BnL coordinates the largest digital library in Luxembourg.
The BnL is proud to welcome its users in its new library building, which opened in October 2019.
For the first time, the National Library of Luxembourg has used a cutting-edge AI tool to transcribe a handwritten document. Louis Joseph Zelle’s “Myn wedervaren” offers a rare, critical glimpse into 19th-century Luxembourg and the Dutch colonial army. It is now fully digitised and available on eluxemburgensia.lu for all to access.
