  • I N T R O D U C T I O N

    Library is a treasure house of books and is capable of meeting almost all the

    information needs of people. Libraries are temples of knowledge, education/learning,

    where generations of young and old get enlightenment on the achievements of

    mankind. Goa can be legitimately proud of having one of the oldest libraries in India

    as well as in Asia which has enriched Goan cultural and educational life.

    1. Krishnadas Shama Goa State Central Library:

    The State Central Library occupies the pride of the place among the public

    libraries in India, especially for its collection on Goan History and Culture. The

    Central Library is the oldest Public Library in India established on 15th September

    1832 by Vice Roy Dom Manuel de Portugal e Castro as `Publica Livaria`. Four years

    earlier to Calcutta Public Library, 1836. (The National Library of India) It was

    changed to Bibliotheca Publica and enriched with bibliographical repository

    transferred from the Convents run by religious orders, which were suppressed.

    However, the collection on Mathematics and Military Science was left in Academia

    and books on Administrative and Legislative matters were transferred to Secretariat

    Library. On 15th February 1897 the status of library was raised to that of a ‘National

    Library’ and renamed as `Bibliotheca Nacional de Nova Goa`. In March 1925, it was

    annexed to the academic and cultural institution (Instituto Vasco da Gama) and

    designated as “Biblioteca Nacional Vasco da Gama” by Decree Law no.38684 dated

    18th

    March 1952. Under this Decree the privilege of `Deposito Legal` (Delivery Act)

    was made applicable to this library by virtue of which the library received all

    publication from Portugal and her overseas Provinces. From September 1959, the

    Bibliotheca was detached from the Instituto Vasco-da-Gama and put under the

    administrative control of ‘Servicos de Instruccao e Saude’ (Education and Health

    Services); it was then renamed as “Biblioteca Nacional de Goa”. The collection of

    pre-liberation period consists mainly of books and journals in Portuguese, French,

    Latin, English and very few books in local language like Konkani and Marathi. The

    total pre-liberation collection was about 40,487 volumes.

    1

  • The earliest book available is Repertorium Singularioum Super Toto Codice

    Lugdini by Baldi published in 1539. The collection of the library has manuscripts and

    codices in Portugues, Castilian, Latin, Tamil, Ceylonese, Canary and Konkani dating

    th thsince 17 and 18 century.

    The collection of the local newspapers includes the publication of Estado da

    India Portuguesa since 1856 to 1961 and then from 1961 to present day publication.

    The library is an important center for Indo-Portuguese studies as well as

    Portuguese colonial history. It is also a repository of Indo Portuguese Literature. The

    other important collection is of “Boletim Official” (Official Gazette) dating since

    1837 till date.

    Further, State Central Library is acting as a repository of books published in

    State under the provision of the Delivery of Books Act, 1954. To support the library

    movement the Government of Goa has passed and enacted the Goa Public Libraries

    Act, 1993.

    Present Status of Library:

    Government in an effort to inculcate reading habits among the youth and to

    encourage research has set up a six floor library in the heart of the city at Patto, Panaji

    – Goa. Central Library is the State Library and apex of Public Library system in Goa.

    It has under its control Seven Taluka Libraries and one District Library. Besides Goa

    has altogether 151 Village libraries which includes NGO’s Libraries, Village

    century onwards. Due to course of time and on account of physical, chemical and

    biological factors, their properties undergo change and they deteriorate and get

    damaged. Part of the collection is microfilmed so that the information from the

    damaged book/document is read from microfilm. But it is obligatory on our part to

    protect and preserve this heritage for as long as possible. This is possible only if

    proper treatment is provided to these documents which are already deteriorated which

    is called Conservation and Preservation. Fumigation is also being done for the books

    infected.

    35

  • For providing training to the staff of Central Library for working in preservation lab,

    trainings & workshops were conducted in collaboration with National Archives, New

    Delhi and CSMVS Museum Art Conservation, Mumbai. Concerned staff was also

    deputed for training & workshops in preservation techniques and for its proper

    implementation.
