How to access the holdings in this room

Due to the current healthcare situation, it is currently only possible to access the BNE reading rooms with an appointment for the exclusive purpose of consulting the holdings (not for study).

For this reason, you must request the documents that you would like to view or the processing of your library card in advance. Once a request has been received, the BNE will contact the applicant to arrange the time of the visit.

The restrictions that are currently in place aim to ensure the safety of employees and users of the BNE’s services, and result in other changes to the usual loan service in the rooms, for example:

• The public computers may only be used to consult the BNE archives.
• To consult the free access reference collections, you must email the room where the archive is held, rather than requesting it directly.

Please find further information about the remaining measures and conditions affecting the loan service during the "new normal" period in this document (PDF).
