A significant portion of the Library’s holdings originates from donations, either of individual titles or entire collections. Only donations that fall within the Library’s collection development policy are accepted. The process for the acceptance and integration of donations is described in detail in the Library’s Internal Operating Regulations. In particular, in the case of large donations, mutual agreement between the donor and the Library is required through the prescribed Donation Agreement.
The Library engages in exchanges and donations with cooperating and related libraries in Greece and abroad. It exchanges/donates duplicate copies of books, duplicate journal issues, material withdrawn from its collection, or donations that are not incorporated into its holdings. It also participates in the Exchange and Donations Service of the National Library of Greece (NLG).
If you wish to donate material or inquire about the availability of material, please contact the Library at library@asfa.gr
