Pope Francis moves part of Vatican library, archive to Rome seminary appeared on www.aciafrica.org by EWTN.
In July, Pope Francis appointed Augustinian Father Rocco Ronzani as the new prefect of the Vatican Apostolic Archive.
Previously known as the Vatican’s “secret archive,” it contains 53 miles of underground shelving preserving documentation from historic papacies, ecumenical councils, conclaves, and Vatican nunciatures, or embassies, around the world.
The Vatican Library, according to its website, “preserves over 180,000 manuscripts (including archival units), 1,600,000 printed books, about 9,000 incunabula, over 300,000 coins and medals, more than 150,000 prints, thousands of drawings and engravings, and over 200,000 photographs.”
In its current form the library dates to the 14th century, though there is evidence the Catholic Church has had a library and archive from as early as the 300s.
Pope Leo XIII opened the archive to scholars in 1881. Qualified researchers can request permission to visit and view specific documents in both the archive and the library.
