The restoration of old documents of the former National Library started in 2003 with the Rehabilitation Project.

A team of 6 members, who undergo in-service training, are currently working at the restoration workshops of the National Library where different types of documents are being restored (books, posters, manuscripts etc.) The selection criteria for restoration are: value, age, and the heritage asset of Lebanese production.

The workshops have been equipped thanks to various donations (from the Lebanese National Library Foundation and the Center of Book Preservation in Arles – France). The materials used are natural and neutral.
